Photography, because within a single frame I can capture and tell an entire story.
Where do you find inspiration?’m deeply inspired by the streets and by people. I’m drawn to capturing everyday life—the way people live, behave, and simply are. I believe every person in the world carries their own universe, and I’m passionate about exploring that. Each person also has their own inner thoughts things no one else can see, and that fascinates me.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d like to upgrade some of my photography equipment and invest in developing a new photographic series. I also believe investing in knowledge is always a valuable path.
