Photography, for me, is driven by instinct. When I look at something, it may spark an immediate feeling that drives my decision to capture the shot. I photograph what catches my eye, reacting to what stands out in the moment.

I do this for the preservation of memories, to make new experiences by exploring with my camera, and create visually pleasing art that I can share here.

My inspiration traces back to the street photography that filled my home growing up. At first, I was drawn to their visual appeal, but as I learned they were my mom’s work, each photograph began to feel like a piece of a bigger story. That’s when my own interest in photography truly took hold.
