© 2017 by Lawrence R Pendelton III
I'm a 23-year-old freelance photographer based in Pleasant Valley, New York. Born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York. After graduating from Arlington High School I moved to Spring Hill, Florida for about 2 years then moved back to NY.
In December 2019 enrolled in NYIP (New York Institute of Photography) to get a Professional Degree and officially graduated July 2021. I primarily shoot digital, but I do enjoy film/darkroom work as well. My portfolio showcases some favorite images from the past few years; I strive to create photographs that not only capture a moment, but also capture a feeling and essence.
Growing up, I always had a passion for photography. I loved the way that seemingly mundane moments could be captured and transformed into true beauty. This notion still captivates me, and pushes my creativity every day.
As a dedicated and passionate photographer, I’m constantly looking for new moments to capture on camera. Since beginning my professional journey, I’ve worked on many different types of projects that have expanded my experience and added to my portfolio. Take a moment to explore my work, and contact me with any questions.
Life Motto :
This is your life. Do what you love and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time to do the things that you love, make time. Life is simple. Open your mind, arms and heart to new things. Ask the next person you see what their passion is. And share your inspiring dream with them. Getting lost will only help you find yourself. Don't give up when things don't come easily. Continue to work for it until you succeed. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Start doing things that interest you, and take part in crazy things you only dreamed of doing. Make the dream a reality, and wear your passion with you everywhere you go. Life is about the people you meet and the things you do. So go out and start creating. Creating new friends, creating new memories, and new dreams. Life is way too short so stop saying later because if not now, when?
