“Around the age of 12 or 13, my father bestowed upon me my inaugural camera, a Kodak with film reels—a faithful companion for many years. Although I always had a camera in hand, my genuine love for photography ignited when a group of friends and I decided to launch a crafts blog.
Eager to showcase our creations in the most enchanting light, I delved into photography courses. Initially at local schools and later through numerous online courses—I was relentless, continually seeking to refine my skills. Eventually, I invested in my first DSLR camera, and from that point forward, photography began to gradually consume my time, evolving from a hobby to a full-fledged passion that now occupies the forefront of my pursuits.”

“In my perspective, the essence of a photograph lies in the play of light, and nothing surpasses the beauty of natural light. In a staggering 99% of my captures, I rely on the natural light streaming through the windows of my studio. I meticulously manipulate and filter it using diffusers, bringing to life the envisioned composition in my mind. My quest involves seeking out contrasts, highlighting areas, and crafting gentle, elongated shadows. When shooting outdoors, my heart gravitates towards the golden warmth of the last hours of summer days and the crisp, cool lights that grace a winter sunset.”

Creating multiple versions of a single photo, the challenge lies in the delightful struggle of choosing the one that resonates the most with the vision I have in mind.”
