Brandon Ruffin's lifelong interest in photography began with a Kodak Easy Share camera, gifted by his parents during his time at Northridge. He documented his life and friends, eventually upgrading to a Canon G9 and then a Canon 40D, solidifying his passion for photography as an art form.
He describes his journey through various camera systems, including Fuji and Leica, and how each one shaped his approach to capturing images.
Ruffin emphasizes the importance of intentionality and connection in his photography, using the camera as a journal to capture fleeting moments and memories. He reflects on the emotional impact of photographs, particularly in the context of loss, highlighting the role of photography as a visual obituary and memorial.
