“I love being in hectic environments with tons of people. It makes me feel like I’m not the only one struggling or succeeding.”

Intercru: Where are you from?

Vincent: I’m from Branford, Connecticut.

Where do you live and work now?

I currently attend Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

What’s your favorite movie of all time?

My favorite movie of all time is either Interstellar or Inception. I love movies with unexpected twists and turns. They really screw with my head.

What’s your biggest fear?

One of my biggest fears is the future. It has so many outcomes and it’s impossible to predict. Sometimes, I can’t help but think about what it has in store for me.

What’s your favorite show on Netflix right now?

Black Mirror

What is the best gift you’ve ever been given?

I’m so grateful to have such a supportive childhood environment. I was surrounded by people that cared about me more than themselves and that’s so important to me.

In 3 words how would you describe yourself?

Empathetic, optimistic, eccentric

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

Southern California or New York City. I love being in hectic environments with tons of people. It makes me feel like I’m not the only one struggling or succeeding. This gives me the motivation to keep going and to stay in my own lane.

What’s your favorite color?

Orange with a hint of yellow. This color is in a good portion of my photos. It holds so much emotion when paired with a subject.

If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you would do?

I’m not sure if I’d want to spend my winnings on anything crazy. I’d want to help my close friends or family if they need it. In terms of inanimate objects, I’d want to upgrade a few of my photography accessories.

If you had a superpower what would it be?

Being able to fly. I’d never be late again.

What’s your favorite meal of the day?

Breakfast because I’m usually starving in the morning. I love French toast with a side of coffee. You can’t beat it.
