Summary

Why I Started Photography:

I've always been fascinated by the power of imagery to evoke emotions, tell stories, and capture moments in time. As a child, I found myself drawn to photographs, marveling at how they could preserve memories and convey messages without the need for words. As I grew older, I realized that photography was not only a means of creative expression but also a way to document the world around me and share my perspective with others.

Funny enough, one can say I fell in love with photography through my farther who was a well known photographer for family events. Even though he never pursued photography as his carrier I have decided to do so because my passion with photograhy keeps me fulfilled like no other. Whether it's the play of light on a landscape, the candid expression on a person's face, or the intricate details of everyday life, photography allows me to explore, interpret, and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world we live in.

It's this passion for storytelling and visual communication that ultimately led me to pursue a career in photography, where I continue to find joy and fulfillment in capturing moments and creating images that resonate with others.
