I love creating art because It’s a way for me to capture moments through my heart and mind as I see them and share them with who can relate.

The camera is my tool, and I love creating art through photography. It’s how I connect with life, It lets me pause time and really appreciate a moment, knowing I’ll never be able to capture it the same way again. Every photo I take is one of a kind, and that’s what makes it so exciting to me. I’m drawn to storytelling and documenting life as it is, and photography allows me to hold onto those memories.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration in life itself, especially in the connections I have with people I care about. Those moments mean a lot to me, and I love saving them in my photo albums so they don’t just pass by. It pushes me to take more photos while I can and share them in a way that actually feels meaningful. I’m also inspired by artists like Sophie Calle, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Ken Ohara, who capture life in such honest ways.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d want to save some of it and put it back into my work, especially for better equipment. But honestly, what I want most is to travel, to experience different places and create art along the way, capturing moments wherever I am.
