My photography is how I learn about people, things, and the environment around me. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-expression.

I'm fascinated by the emotional impact of a photograph. For me, a portrait is an opportunity for interaction. Genuine and spontaneous moments that we experience as individuals are what I love about it the most. That is when we are at our most beautiful.

There is a distinction to be made between representation and reality. However, making representation a reality is arduous. That is not just a girl behind a sewing machine, many women work discreetly behind the scenes.

I'm fascinated by the wide range of feelings that a person may elicit with just a glance or their body language. The variety and depth of human emotions that may be transmitted in a single frame amaze me, from warmth and intimacy to distance and restraint.

The Voice

I can hear it the faster your finger flies over it

There is nothing remarkable about it without your touch

If ̶

You close your poetry eyes

It will play by itself
