Stuart Monicatti, Photographer

Ciao! I’m Stuart Monicatti and I just like to take photos. I started a year ago and just took off quickly! Taking photos and editing in the Echo is giving me the experience I need to further my career in photographic journalism. Creativity of a good photo is important to me, setting up the shot, getting the settings right, then hearing that *click* and seeing the perfect outcome is the best part of the job! I hope to bring a great amount of variety of creativity to our newspaper and also better my skills as a photographer. Also Kanye is my god… YE 2020 IT’S GONNA HAPPEN!
