Serena D'Cruze. Age: 19. 31/12/95

I'm originally from Toronto, Canada, I spent my first seventeen years growing up in Grenada, a small island in the southern Caribbean. From the age of thirteen I’ve been interested in taking pictures of the little things we happen to pass by every day without taking a second look and since then my passion for the art of photography has grown from being just a hobby to a career path. Photography allows us to capture moments that can’t be relived ever again. It’s the perfect way to capture lifetime memories and how things can change by year. Now I strive to develop my skills and become one of the best photographers out there. Some of the areas I would love to eventually specialize in are photojournalism, Fashion photography, wedding photography, Event photography as well as portrait & Landscape photography. At the same time, I don’t want to limit myself to what I can do. If I am offered a job that I am not 100% sure about I’ll still try my best to succeed and expand my knowledge. If it’s one thing I know it’s that there is no limit to learning. Every day of our lives is an opportunity to learn something new and we should never give that up. I always keep an open mind about learning new things. When people ask me why I choose photography I tell them that an office job isn’t for me, I much rather be out and about exploring new places, meeting new people and learning about the many different ways of life through my lens.
