The Journey Part 1: Adjustment
Even though chaotic yet enchanting life I’ve been living, I have embarked on a soul-stirring journey that again goes beyond the boundaries of my comfort zone. It was a crisp morning when I said goodbye to the comfort of my city, the remnants of poetic verses and the shutter clicks of my camera fading into the distance. I find myself at the nexus of change. The city I’ve known all my life now grows smaller in the distance as the bus continues forward. Once confined to the familiarity of Philly, I now stretched across the uncharted territory of a place I’ve never met.

Jasmine Alves, the CEO and founder of Wild Ones Photography, is no ordinary photographer. Her lenses are not merely tools for taking pictures; they are instruments of change, agents of unity, and a sign of hope.

Her canvases become windows to her soul, capturing the ebbs and flows of her spirit in vivid strokes and bold hues. Yet, Aryii’s artistry transcends the boundaries of the brush; it is conducted across mediums, intertwining science and self-expression into a mesmerizing work of art.
