ABOUT:

As a creative designer, when I started shooting in the Bay Area, I noticed that there were no platforms out there, such as a magazine or zine, to showcase the work of talented street photographers. We only had Instagram, where everyone shared their photos. For me, it isn't the same feeling. I preferred something that you can hold in your hand, start flipping pages and create your own collection of good photography. So I began designing and curating The Avenue Magazine.

After the first issue, I felt the need to expand beyond the Bay Area. It was the best decision I made. Since then, more street photographers from around the world have been part of it. The magazine has shipped to countries I never anticipated. My mission has always been to highlight both well-known photographers and upcoming ones and to allow them to share the same space with different styles of street photography and learn from each other.

My goal is to continue expanding our reach to all street photography lovers.
