ABOUT ME
I'm Emma Kipp, a visual storyteller with a strong passion for cinema and photography. My journey began in high school, where I first explored photography through capturing sports events. This early experience sparked a lasting interest in the art of the lens. I went on to study film at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, where my skills and love for the craft continued to grow.
