—Growing up, I often watched my father capture photos of families and friends, his camera constantly clicking as he preserved moments of joy and connection. I’d sit in awe as he showed us the slideshows, each frame telling a unique story. The warmth of those memories filled the room, and I remember thinking to myself, "I want to create those kinds of memories too." The way he could freeze time and bring it back to life fascinated me, and it sparked a desire in me to one day capture the world through my own lens.
