Photography became my way of expressing feelings. As a beginner, I’m not just taking pictures—I’m building confidence.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My art is photography, but to me it’s more than just taking pictures it’s storytelling. I create by capturing emotions, connections, and moments that might otherwise be forgotten. As a beginner, I see the world with fresh eyes, and that helps me find beauty in the smallest details.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in real, unposed moments and the emotions behind them. As a beginner photographer, I’m inspired by learning and growing, and by the idea that every photo I take can turn a simple moment into something meaningful and lasting.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would invest in my photography journey upgrading my equipment, continuing my education, and growing my business. As a beginner, this would give me the foundation to turn my passion into a career. I’d also use part of it to give back by offering affordable sessions, so more people can capture moments that matter.
