I'm Jake, a small time photographer out of the Bay Area. I started shooting as a kid on my dad's old Canon EOS 60D, and now have graduated to owning my own gear. Having an artistic outlet has always been a force of balance for me, and with a background in video and photo editing, this has been a fun one.

My current setup is a Sony Alpha 6300 with a 27mm pancake lens. This budget setup was perfect for bringing my camera along on bike rides, as cycling is another hobby. You can find me on Youtube as Jake's West Coast. My current photography interests include capturing the beauty of the Bay Area and California coast on our bike rides, as well as moments in my everyday life.
