~ About Me ~
Hello. I am Marina Elyse Castro, a 12th-grade student at High Tech High Media Arts. I was born and raised in San Diego, California, but will soon be moving up the coast to the Pacific Northwest in the Fall, attending Portland State University. I will be going in as a Communications major, but I might change my mind a few times in the next 4 years.
Since 9th grade, I have become extremely interested in the field of photography. I enjoy photographing things as simple as a classic sunset or the waves to candids of my friends to more complex, artistic shots of the world around me. My favorite genre of photography is definitely the editorial, fashion side of the industry. For my 11th grade internship, I went to a local production studio and fell even more in love with this industry. I realized that I really want to dive into this field and start a career for myself, wether that be as a photographer or producer. I am still going to college to have the life experience and set myself up with a safety blanket incase I decide to go on a different career path later in life. Who knows, maybe I change my ind a few more times about "what I want to be when I grow up."
