Wassup,
I'm Bolden
I'm a freelance photographer based in Santa Barbara, CA
specializing in portraiture & events. After earning my B.S. in Biopsychology at UC Santa Barbara, I opted to stay in SB to mentor students as I pursue my passion for photography as a first-gen graduate & business owner.
Breaking out
of the Shell
"Humble Beginnings" wouldn't do me justice. From an early age, I've been blessed with a curious nature that laid foundation for academic success. Somewhere along the adolescent journey I realized my tenacity coupled well with that curiosity, pushing me to perform in athletics like football, track & field, and eventually calisthenics and weight-training.
Eventually, I felt compelled to try something new & pick up a camera. 100s of hours of practice and youtube videos led to.... well, actually, I'll let the portfolio to speak for itself.
