Hi, I'm Archer, a high school photographer based in the Bay Area. Originally from New York, I discovered my passion for photography in eighth grade and have been honing my skills ever since. My work focuses primarily on street photography, which has earned me 6 Scholastic Awards and a category award for the Peninsula Photo Contest. Over the years, I’ve expanded my portfolio by experimenting with various styles and techniques, capturing everything from automotive, sports, portraits, landscapes, and more.
​
Photography has always been a way for me to explore the world and tell stories. I've had the privilege of being mentored by renowned photographers like Bootsy Holler and Phil Penman, and I'm currently studying under Kenna Gallagher at Palo Alto High School​.
​
Whether it’s through candid moments or carefully orchestrated shots, my goal is to bring my unique perspective to life and connect with others through the art of photography.
"When you put your eye to a camera, it's just you and the world. It's hard to let someone into that—almost impossible."
