My name is:
Nathan Duarte
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, sports and music has been something persistent in my life. As something more than just enjoyment, I've always looked to take it a bit further, to attempt to show even just a glimpse of how I felt in those situations, to show a fragment of my soul at the time. I knew I wasn't the most skilled in sports, knew I wasn't the greatest musician or singer, but I still wanted to pursue the art and show how much I loved those situations. Which led me to my pursuit in my photography.
There's no other way to capture how I felt at a game, until a cameras in my hand, not to just show what happened, but to show the story as well.
My name is:
PFC Duarte, Nathan
Time passed, and I grew a lot in my life. From the first time I held a camera, while looking for a place to help at my family's church, to going to semi-professional matches in the US. Lot's of things changed.
I became a Tennessee Army National Guardsman at the age of 18, becoming a 88M (Motor Transportation Operator). I had to leave my home, which was the hardest part of the journey. Family, friends, my love: Regan, and my camera, it became the largest test of my life.
But with every moment that passed, and every tear wiped, I'm glad to be a part of something bigger than myself. No matter how difficult it was though, it gave me a drive to pursue my love and interest in photography/videography. I decided to truly look to be the best option and the most appealing cameraman in the market, and will always strive for it.
Nowadays, I am a photographer, a storyteller, and a artist. Always looking for new ways to share my vision, and to share my emotions as well. Investing time and energy to share the love of sports, concerts, and events.
