HI, I'M TANIYA COOKSEY!
I am an 18-year-old photographer from San Diego, California.
My journey as a photographer began in 2020, but I have always excelled in various art forms such as fine art, videography, and literature. However, none of them have resonated with me as much as photography. I am passionate about capturing life in unique ways through my photography.
FUN FACTS:
1. I absolutely love music. Words can't express how much I enjoy listening to music. I always describe the experience of listening to music as being transported to another universe through the lyrics or the beats the song produces. Some of my favorite artists are Laufey, TV Girl, BTS, Drake, Harry Styles, and SZA.
2. Much like music, books are one of my escapes from the world. My all-time favorite genres are romance, young adult, and fantasy (in that order).
3. I love to travel. By the time I am considered a grandma, I want to have traveled the world and documented different people's stories with my camera. My dream destinations are Northern Italy, South Korea, and Switzerland!
4. I am a real vintage enthusiast. I always take my film camera with me in addition to my regular camera because some moments just have to be captured with that vintage-flare film cameras provide. I will be in literal heaven once I can have some photo shoots in Italy and Paris because the architecture there is to die for!
5. I am attending UCLA! I chose this school because of the amazing student-life balance, the Los Angeles area, and the impressive academic standing that the college has. As a freshman, I'm excited to spend the next four years of my life there!
THAT JUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP!
