"I didn’t have near enough money in my bank account but I was determined to do it anyway. My heart had been shattered by a guy that didn’t seem to care, I had just graduated from uni and my future was an unwritten piece of paper.
⠀
The 'responsible' thing to do would have been to stay at the solid job I had acquired for the summer, work for a few more months and leave with more money saved up to play it safe. But driven by heartache and impatience I said f*ck it, now or never, and booked a one way ticket to Peru.
⠀
I didn’t have much of plan, all I knew was that I wanted to see Latin America, learn Spanish, take photos, meet people and then spend the summer road tripping and hike my way through the western United States and eventually Canada. Ideally I’d make it all the way to Alaska. I had about one year to accomplish this dream before returning to Sweden to 'settle, grow up and get serious.'
⠀
Turned out someone had different plans for me."

When I was young I had my first taste of photography from my uncle (photographer), Burt Sardoma Jr. He is definitely one of my inspirations. My interest for the art of photography grew when I would go to auto events with my dad, as he would take photos of all the cars and everything that was going on. Subsequently, the more I learned about the art of photography and the feeling it can give you inspired me even further. I did some portrait work for friends and felt like I had learned a lot by that time. Over the course of a year in doing photography more seriously, I took basic photography (& intermediate photography later) with Victor Consaga at UOG in 2013. The course allowed my vision to expand wider and I realized that the learning does not stop. In 2015, I was able to acquire a business license and launch FPS Photography. Even after many years, I am glad to continue learning about this art and finding passion where I can share the love, as I do with my son, Jase Donnauro Espino. - Jed Espino ().
