Artist Statement

Photography started for Levi as a means of admiration. flipping through his family’s scrapbooks, he became interested in the ability to capture memories to be able to look back at them whenever. This admiration eventually turned into curiosity. In high school being an avid Tumblr user (the social media and online blog website), he would spend hours scrolling through photos trying to understand how they were made. At some point, thanks to having a few friends who owned cameras and getting to hold them in his hands, he decided he needed to look into getting a camera of his own. The summer after his junior year of high school he worked at a summer camp in order to make money to purchase one. With the help of his mother, he was able to do so. His junior year of high school, he joined the newspaper and as assigned to photograph football games. From there, his passion for capturing sports grew into a passion for movement, energy, and timeless moments, with his current focus being on lifestyle and music photography.
