My Story
It all started with a simple moment—a spark that turned into a lifelong passion. I still remember the first time I truly fell in love with portrait photography. I was holding my camera, adjusting the settings, when I casually pointed it at a friend. The moment our eyes met through the lens, something incredible happened—before I even clicked the shutter, they broke into the most genuine, unguarded smile. It wasn’t forced or posed; it was real. That instant, I realized the power of a camera—not just to capture moments but to create them. From that day on, I found joy in taking my camera everywhere, not just to document life but to spread happiness, one smile at a time.
But photography wasn’t just about comfort—it was about pushing boundaries. While I adored capturing people, there was one subject I struggled with: dogs. I had always been afraid of them, their unpredictable energy making me uneasy. I knew I couldn’t let fear dictate my creativity, so I challenged myself in an unexpected way. I began approaching random strangers, offering to take their photos. This wasn’t just about improving my photography skills; it was about stepping out of my comfort zone, learning to interact, and gradually easing my fear. With each encounter, I gained confidence—not just in my ability to photograph, but in myself.
Photography, for me, has never been just about the images—it’s about the emotions, the stories, and the personal growth that comes with every shot.
