Bonjour, 你好, Hola, Xín Chao!

I am Anthony "AJ" Heard, born in 2003 in Sacramento, CA. As the son of two US Air Force veterans turned entrepreneurs and the eldest brother of 12 siblings, I have a unique perspective on life and ambition. My interest in videography and photography began in my sophomore year of high school in Jacksonville, FL, inspired by my dad. That's when I started building my brand and contemplating the impact I could have with a camera and a lens.

Here’s a bit about me: I have traveled halfway around the globe, and I'm striving to cover the other half, all with my cameras in hand. I've immersed myself in the culture and sights of beautiful destinations like Singapore, Tokyo, Vietnam, Malaysia, Alaska, Guatemala, Mexico, Washington, D.C., Hollywood, and my safe space (and college town), Merced. Through all my experiences abroad, I have brought back an ambivalent realization that I'd like to share with you all.

Want to know what it is? It’s that across all cultures and lifestyles, we harbor dreams that often remain locked in our minds. To that, I say, "Dream Less, Live More," my friends.

I dare you to turn your dreams into reality. Remember, every moment lived to the fullest is a chapter worth telling. Never wonder what could have been.
