I’m Kyle

Man sleeping on airport chair with backpack beside him.

I am currently attending Ball State University. My major is Journalism (photographic storytelling) with a minor in marketing.

Before Ball State, I was in the Army serving as a drone operator. (reconnaissance)

I found photography through an old Pentax film camera (Pentax ME Super for all you gear nerds)

This camera, without realizing it at the time, gave me a way to communicate.

When I shared my photos with family and friends, they were able to see a life happening more than 1,500 miles away. Photography became the way I shared my experiences and told the stories I couldn't always put into words.
