I am Ilaki, and I have always felt at home by the ocean. Growing up in a small coastal town, I spent most of my childhood playing on the beach and swimming in the waves. It was there that I developed a love for the freedom and beauty of nature.
As I got older, I began to feel more connected to the earth and its rhythms. I started practicing yoga and meditation, which allowed me to tap into my inner self and find a sense of peace and calm. The ocean became a source of inspiration for me, and I would often spend hours sitting on the beach, watching the waves and feeling the sand between my toes.
But it wasn't until I turned 21 that I really found my true passion - photography. I bought my first camera and began taking pictures of everything around me - the ocean, the sunsets, the stars. It was like a door had opened in my mind, and I could see the world in a completely new light. Now, at 30 years old, I've been traveling the world, capturing its beauty through my lens, and spreading that love to others.
