Who Am I?

 

My name is Kelsey Yang.​  My passion for photography began when I was in elementary school.  Did I know that I wanted to be a photographer when I grew up?  Nope.  I had other plans in mind like being a veterinarian or become a professional video gamer or just be a animal lover.  When I graduated high school, I knew that I wanted to be a professional photographer so when I was looking at colleges to find photography programs, I found one.  I began my journey as a photographer at the University of Southern Indiana in Fall 2012.

​

Throughout my college experience, I slowly worked on my photography skills.  From starting at the beginning: working with film and the dark room and making my way up the chain to digital and Photoshop.  I have worked with different types of subjects from still life's to portraits in a studio to landscape from car shows to cosplay.

​

Then Life through me a curveball.  After taking a small break from college, I joined the Marine Corps.  Since I was a kid, I dreamed of being in the military especially the Marines and my day came true when I was entered in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP).  For the next 3 months, I prepared myself both mentally and physically for my shipdate to bootcamp on April 4, 2016.  From there, I endured 3 grueling months before I earned the title of a United States Marine on July 1, 2016.  I finally made my dream come true.  Due to events that carried over from boot camp to the next part of training affected me and I was discharged about 6 months of being in the Corps.  The time I was in, I'm thankful for the experience I experienced and the people I have met on the journey.
