I've always been drawn to the artistic side of things. Growing up in a family of creatives didn't make it any less challenging for me to find my own path. I've tried various hobbies over the years - painting, playing music, even writing poetry - but nothing seemed to truly capture my heart until photography.
When I first picked up a camera, everything clicked into place (pun intended). The way light danced across subjects, the ability to freeze moments in time, it all felt so... real. And as I honed my skills, I realized that capturing the beauty of everyday life was what truly set me apart from other photographers.
But photography wasn't just a hobby for me; it became an outlet for emotions and thoughts I couldn't quite verbalize. It allowed me to process complex feelings through an artistic lens, giving voice to those quiet moments when words seemed too hard to find. Now, at eighteen, I've made the bold decision to share my work with the world - whether it's capturing portraits of strangers on a whim or documenting intimate moments for friends and family alike.
