Welcome to WEST GROWN Photography, where every click of the shutter tells a story deeply rooted in authenticity and community. With a profound reverence for the human experience, I specialize in Bikelife, portraits, event, and raw street photography.

Raised in the heart of California, amidst the eclectic tapestry of Los Angeles, I learned the value of connection and diversity from an early age. My journey as an Army Sergeant, serving two tours in Iraq, ingrained in me the importance of authenticity and resilience in the face of adversity. It was during these transformative experiences that I was honored with a Purple Heart, a testament to the strength found within.

After years of reflection and recovery, I turned to photography as a medium of expression—a way to bridge the gap between the individual and the collective narrative. Through my lens, I strive to capture the rawness of emotion and the beauty found in imperfection, celebrating the richness of our shared humanity.
