Passion.
Passion is to me, the utmost important factor. It fuels my every effort in photography and design; above all, it is the guiding light to how I live my life – creatively.

I am ardently inspired by icons in the photography industry with the likes of; Chase Jarvis, Henry Cartier-Bresson, James Nachtwey, and Robert Capa. It is in their undying passion to do justice to the art and that amazes me greatly; it shows very well translated though their spirit and mindset.

Inspirations however, are capable to present themselves in many forms I believe; a heartfelt monologue, aspirations from being around a person, ever-changing formations of clouds in the skies, or even a well-directed advertisement.

I find as I slowly understand more about life through photography – the pictures and as well as the experiences; gratitude towards little details and happenings grow, and perspectives are expanding steadily fast but hopefully just.

It is my dream to one day, be part of the National Geographic team; to be able to travel around to capture amazing moments across the globe – to be able see the meaning of “life” through the eyes of others and to share it to the world.

Photography isn’t the only form of art I would like to fill my life with. Despite being more of a textual orientated person while conceptualizing, I still love to explore the diverse possibilities of visual mediums to translate and express these thoughts of mine.
