What Drives Me

Photography is more than just a hobby for me, it's a way to capture and preserve the moments that truly matter. Every photo I take is more than an image; it's a story frozen in time, filled with emotions, memories, and meaning.

Beyond documentation, photography is my creative outlet. It’s like painting with light and color, a way to express thoughts and feelings that words alone often can't convey.
Whether it's a stunning landscape, a fleeting expression, or the play of light in an urban setting, every shot is an opportunity to create something unique.

I also have a deep love for exploration. The world is vast, filled with incredible landscapes, cultures, and people.
Photography fuels my curiosity, allowing me to document the beauty of our planet and the stories of those who call it home.

And of course, there’s the simple joy of creating beautiful images. The process itself, from composing a shot to post-processing, is just as rewarding as the final result.

I appreciate both digital and analog photography. Film, in particular, holds a special place for me, the anticipation, the need to be intentional with every shot, and the timeless quality of grainy images make it a truly unique experience.

As for my gear, my Nikon D3500 remains my go-to camera, paired with a 35mm prime lens and a 70-300mm zoom to capture a variety of perspectives.
I also enjoy experimenting with my ultrawide lens for dramatic compositions. For aerial shots and unique angles, I rely on my DJI Mavic Mini 4 and Osmo 3, while my collection of old Sony DCR camcorders adds a nostalgic touch to my creative work.
Whether shooting digital, film, or drone footage, I’m always looking for new ways to push my creativity and tell compelling visual stories.
