Written & photographed by Walter Grio.
So far, the first six months of 2013 have been incredibly amazing for fashiontographer. Between reaching over 300,000 followers on Facebook to photographing the Inaugural Ball to going to Paris and New York fashion weeks and finally receiving invitations to shows in London and Milan — it’s truly been a remarkable ride. We can’t wait to see how the rest of the year unfolds! Thank you for all of your support!
