For me, photography is not just a side hobby or a way to explore the art profession; it is a way of life. Through the camera lens, I can find my true voice and express myself in various languages that resonate with the hearts and minds of the people around me. In my photography, I strive to capture the essence of moments, exploring the intersection of light, emotion, and perspective. Through my lens, I seek to uncover the beauty in the ordinary, inviting viewers to see the world from a fresh perspective.
My vision as a photographer is to capture the essence of life in all its complexity and beauty. Whether that leads me to photograph nature and all its beauty or the intimacy of human life, I show viewers through my images the stories I seek to tell that are both universal and deeply personal. I invite viewers to see the world through my eyes and experience the human nature of life. I aim to show the small details that some may not think twice about while trying to survive the world we live in. I try to convey thoughts and provoke feelings through my images.
At the heart of my photographic practice lies a deep-rooted love for the natural world and the people living within. I aim to photograph family members, friends, and strangers living their lives. I incorporate my love for quilting, crocheting, and painting into my photos by creating something the viewers can relate to or interact with. I want to convey a sense of nostalgia. I create things that can give the viewers a look into my life on a personal level. I try to cross the boundaries of what is right and wrong when taking photographs. I try to push the boundaries of photography and the rules while also stepping outside my comfort zone. I photograph subjects that make me happy with my work. I try to push myself to be more creative than the last time I took a photo. I aim to create a story in my photographs that changes with each viewer.
In conclusion, my journey as a photographer is deeply personal and profoundly meaningful. Through my images, I seek to capture the beauty and richness of life and those around me in all their forms, inviting viewers to join me on the journey of discovery and wonder. With each click of the shutter, I am reminded of the endless possibilities that lie before me and am filled with a sense of humility and amazement for the privilege of being able to share my vision with those around me.
