*Tessa Gartrell**   I am a passionate photographer and filmmaker with a strong foundation and Bachelor’s degree in Technical Communication. My journey in photography began in high school, and I developed an interest in film during college. I received my first camera at 18 years old, and it quickly became a constant companion. Since then, I have continuously challenged myself to experiment and create content, pushing my skills in both photography and film to new levels. My goal is to capture and express the world as I see it through the lens, while continually learning and improving to become the best version of myself as a creator.
