Long before photography became my profession, I was documenting family gatherings, holidays, and everyday moments without really thinking about why. Looking back, I realise that those photographs became valuable for reasons I couldn't understand at the time.
Not because everything looked perfect. But because they remind us of the people who were there and the moments we shared together. As I've gotten older, that idea has only become more important to me.
Photography allows us to hold on to memories in a way nothing else can. It helps us remember not only how things looked, but how they felt. That's why I do this work. Creating beautiful photographs matters to me, but preserving something meaningful matters even more.
