My journey began in 2012 when I first arrived in Los Angeles to study digital photography at one of the city's premier summer art schools. There, I found my first companion – my camera – and we've been inseparable ever since. In 2013, I ventured to New York where I discovered another lifelong friend: a film camera. This encounter sparked my passion for portrait and street photography. Together, these two companions have accompanied me around the globe, helping me capture fleeting moments and connect with beautiful souls across cultures.
