I've always been the kind of person who has to find her own way in life. My parents were immigrants from Greece and Iran, and they instilled in me a strong sense of independence. I grew up feeling like I didn't quite fit into any one culture, but that's what makes me who I am today. I'm a 23-year-old woman with a passion for photography and art. In fact, I've recently started building my portfolio as an aspiring photographer.

You can find me on most days shooting sunsets at the beach or capturing moments from around town. My friends say I have an eye for beauty in unexpected places. People often ask what inspires my photography style, and I always tell them it's the people around me - their stories, their passions, and their quirks.

My own personal projects revolve around telling stories of women who are making waves in the world. I want to create a body of work that showcases real women doing extraordinary things, whether they're activists, artists, or entrepreneurs. It's been an incredible journey so far, and I'm excited to see where it takes me next.

I love capturing my subjects from every angle - not just their faces but also their bodies and surroundings. I believe this gives a more complete picture of who they are as individuals. For example, when shooting in backlight, the silhouettes can create striking visual effects that say so much about the subject's character without ever showing their face.
