Photographer in Pataskala, Ohio

I'm a Photographer, Powerlifter, and a Senior in high school. It's an interesting combination if you ask me. I was born in Calabasas, C.A., but I've lived in Ohio for basically all my life. How did ContentKyle come to be? It all started for me before I was born. Multiple people in my family tree have been photographers through the years. One memory that specifically sticks out is when my mom bought a camera. I decided to begin experimenting with nature and other daily activities. I've always had a creative side but never knew how to express it. Enter photography. Photography plays an integral part of how I express how I actually feel. Although I don't have many photos of myself, my vibe is what draws me in. The pure satisfaction and fulfillment that I get out of a shot is a feeling like no other. It feels like you just constructed your own supercar or shoe... you want to show it off to the world. I particularly enjoy photographing people because of the emotion that you can bring out by taking a fantastic photo. I also enjoy taking product shots that are a part of my lifestyle that I can get behind. My Journey In 2016 I played football at Watkins Memorial High school. Dustin Myers was the main strength coach for the football team. I quickly took notice that he would always wear shirts that said "Old School Gym," but I had no idea where this place was. The following week I decided to show up at the gym to see what Old School Gym was all about. Later that day I signed up for my membership at Old School. About a month later I started to follow this guy named Jay Azeltine on Instagram. I messaged him one day to ask him how in the world he gets up everyday at 5am. The next week I started showing up at 5am to lift and learn from Jay. Four months after that I started showing up at 4am to lift with Jay and the infamous 4am crew. Around that time I started to record videos for Jay, but didn't really think much of it. About three months later I was developing more content and starting to conceptualize what I could do if I had my own camera... So I bought my own. Also around that time I was training for my first powerlifting meet due to Cory Gregory giving me a push. That meet I squatted 320lbs, benched 165lbs, and deadlifted 365lbs at 144lbs. A month later in January of 2017 Cory called and wanted to hire me as his full time photographer, which I gladly accepted! Since then, I've gone all in on photography and videography to produce powerful content for people and companies such as Cory Gregory, Jay Azeltine, The Tinderbox, OPBA, Etc... Why do I Love Photography & Videography? Ever since I was young I always had a creative side to myself. In elementary school when I had art class, I would always need help with making art that I actually felt satisfied with. With photography I have never had the issue of someone else helping me with a specific photo, but I've learned from many photographers such as Cory Piehowwicz and Bryan Minear.
