I started taking photographs as a way of holding onto moments — small details, light, people, places, feelings that would otherwise disappear. My work is deeply personal and intuitive. I’m drawn to natural light, quiet atmospheres, textures, movement, and the beauty of everyday scenes. I like images that feel honest and emotional, somewhere between documentary and dreamlike. Coming from a background in fashion, I naturally pay attention to composition, styling, and mood, but what interests me most is creating photographs that feel alive and human.  Each photograph is part of an ongoing visual diary: fragments of places, people, objects, and moods that feel both personal and universal. I’m interested in creating images that people can feel something from — effortless, imperfect, a little nostalgic, and easy to live with.
