REVIEWS
Levi Sim
I am passionate about making photographs and helping others make their pictures better, too. I just took a dream job as the Photographer for Utah State University. I make all kinds of portraits for editorial and commercial use, product shots, action pictures, and landscapes in one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s like making a living doing my hobby, and I love it. I spend the rest of my time being a poppa and studying to be a better hunter. Read more of my articles here. You can see my portfolio here— I promise to update it someday…
