Story

Beginning as a genuine interest in learning how to use a standard camera, quickly grew as an outlet to speak without words. With the continuous yearning for knowledge in art and expression—what do I wish to say next?

Urban Storytelling

Capturing Moments, Inspiring Imagination

Daily strolls through parks, grabbing my morning coffee, wondering in a neighborhood new or old; there was always something grabbing my attention. The way light reflected off an object, walking upon an outdoor exhibition, or any random encounter for that day; I always wished for a way to capture those instances the way I seen them. My choice is film; through grainy film is the way I see the world, and my camera no longer leaves my side. 

Visual Poetry of the Ordinary

From the serene quiet of dawn; to the loud hustle of dusk. This work offers a glimpse into the moments I find myself in whist exploring my city. By capturing the beauty of daily life, I look back to learn many of those moments are worth sharing.
