I’m an enthusiastic beginner photographer on a journey to transform curiosity into creativity. What started as a casual interest soon turned into a growing passion for capturing meaningful images. As I began exploring the world of photography, I found a wealth of learning opportunities on platforms like Udemy and Domestika.

Domestika’s hands-on, project-based approach particularly appealed to me—it encouraged me not just to watch but to create and share my work. I initially gravitated toward street photography, drawn by its spontaneity and raw emotion. However, I realized that capturing the kind of street moments I envisioned came with its own set of challenges, including occasional objections from people. That experience, while valuable, made me pivot toward a more introspective form of expression: self-portraiture.

With self-portraits, I’ve found creative freedom—no permissions, no interruptions—just me, the camera, and the story I want to tell. Every photo I take is a step forward in learning, experimenting, and expressing myself through visuals. I'm still early in my journey, but photography has already taught me to see the world—and myself—with new eyes.
Thank You.
