1. Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Adrian Lesoing and I’m a photographer. I work for the College Times and I also work freelance, but what I enjoy most is fine art photography. I love working in the darkroom and in alternative processes. In my free time, I sell vintage clothing on Etsy and at growOP Boutique in Phoenix. My shop’s called Superstition Vintage. I also have a lifestyle blog called Adrian Loves Owls where I share all of this stuff including my photography, life adventures, outfits, and sometimes DIY and vegan recipes.

My environment and the people I surround myself with. It’s a common thread my work seems to focus on.
