The Californer/10290279

WOODSIDE, Calif. - Californer -- Aryan Mehra invites you to his much-anticipated exhibition WILD, at the Kriewall-Haehl Gallery in Rothrock Performing Arts Center at the Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley CA running from August 12 to September 26.

Aryan is a senior at The Nueva High School in San Mateo and the creator of @16mmphotos, named after the focal length, 16mm, known for its ability to capture crisp close-up foregrounds and stunning backgrounds in one shot. The mostly black and white exhibition captures majestic and vulnerable moments in time of nature and wildlife photography.

"I was inspired to become a photographer in 2019 as I embarked on a road trip from San Francisco to British Columbia and captured nature along the coast with a used camera gifted to me. Since then, I have embarked on many mindful expeditions with friends and family including a week-long backpacking trip in Yosemite and summiting Exit Glacier in Alaska," said Aryan while announcing his solo exhibition.
