Photography, for me, is about expression; it’s about how we see and react to the world around us, whether taking in its ideologies or rejecting them.

That’s what makes each artist unique in their own right and that’s what makes the journey to find your individual style so exciting, learning to view the world from an aerial view while standing in the middle of it.
