Amateur photographer who picked up a camera out of curiosity and never really put it down. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a way of seeing the world differently—slowing down, paying attention, and noticing the small moments that most people pass by.

I am drawn to street photography and everyday life, capturing candid scenes, quiet interactions, and the atmosphere of the places I find myself in. I use photography as a way to document both my surroundings and experiences navigating new environments.

I primarily shoot with Fujifilm cameras and prefer to keep things simple—focusing more on timing, composition, and feeling rather than heavy editing. My goal is to reflect a mindset of learning by doing, embracing imperfections, and continuously growing behind the camera.

Most of my work lives on Instagram for now, but the long-term goal is to push further into photojournalism and published work. For me, photography isn’t about perfection—it’s about being present and telling honest stories, one frame at a time.
