JP Ramos, Staff photographer

After graduating from ECC in 2022,  Ramos joins the Observer for his first year to focus on utilizing and honing on his photography skills in the medium of photojournalism. He also seeks to become more experienced in newswriting and media. Music, sports, and student-life are topics he’s interested in covering, while also having a passion for film. Refining his storytelling and composition through his photography is what Ramos hopes to achieve during his time at the Observer. He engages life through the motto, “be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on.”
