Street and lifestyle photography. I like observing more than directing, catching people, light, and moments as they happen. It’s never perfect, sometimes messy, but that’s what makes it feel real to me.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly in everyday life, walking through cities, watching people, noticing how light hits buildings, those small random moments. Traveling helps a lot too. Music plays a big role, it shifts how I see things and how I shoot. I think inspiration is everywhere if you slow down enough to notice it.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest it into growing my photography, travel to new places, create stronger projects, upgrade some gear, and build my platform. I’d also use it to collaborate with other creatives and turn this into something bigger long-term.
