I'm an artist with a camera and I'm obsessed with visual storytelling. I specialize in photographing individual children because I believe every child is unique and deserves to feel seen and loved just as they are.
In 2011, back when I was 13 years old, I fell in love with telling stories through photography. During the first years of my photography journey, I experimented a lot, I frequently shifted genres trying to find my own artistic voice.
Here is some example of why I always play with my ideas and concepts. While capturing all these images of couples I found my freedom to show a variation of thoughts with the line and love. Knowing that a pattern is a design in which lines, shapes, forms, or colors are repeated.
"LOOK AT THE BOKEH!!!!" Does that sound like you when you were first starting out? Well, unfortunately, many photographers never leave that phase. With so many new people getting into photography, we've found it essential to do our part.
You're a documentary photographer, or a photojournalist, or someone looking to tell a story. This doesn't include street photography--that's not photojournalism. But you want to create a narrative in a photo story.
I love stories and I love telling them using my pictures. However, the reason why I started photography 3 years ago was that I just wanted to take some good selfies.
