PHOTOGRAPHY
The face
behind the camera

"Creativity and I are the only ones who will be making any decisions along the way.
I recognize and respect that you are part of this family, and so I will never exclude you from our activities, but still - your suggestions will never be followed. You're allowed to have a seat and you're allowed to have a voice, but you are not allowed to have a vote. You are not allowed to touch the road maps; you're not allowed to suggest detours; you're not allowed to fiddle with the temperature. Dude, you're not even allowed to touch the radio. But above all else, my dear old familiar friend, you are absolutely forbidden to drive.
Then we head off together - me and creativity and fear - side by side by side forever, advancing one more into the terrifying but marvelous terrain of unknown outcome."
- Elizabeth Gilbert
This is me,

My passion for photography began as early as primary school. I remember often picking up my father's camera and capturing whatever caught my eye in our garden. Then life took its course, and although I attended an artistic section in school, I didn’t fully pursue my love for photography until 2016, when I bought my first professional Nikon camera and lenses.
My first photoshoots were beauty-oriented, with friends of mine as the models. Over time, I ventured into my first couple's shoot with my best friend and her boyfriend, and that’s when I realized how much I was drawn to capturing emotions and human connections, rather than focusing on conventional beauty standards. The beauty of raw emotions and deep connections still remains the heart of my work.
