About
I am an amateur photographer whose work explores how images record space, time, and emotion. I focus on landscape, urban scenes, and narrative photography, and I mainly shoot with Sony cameras in real environments, with close attention to light, composition, and viewpoint. My photography has received international recognition, including awards and selections from the Neutral Density Photography Awards, the International Photography Awards, and the EPSON International Pano Awards. I was shortlisted in the world final round of the Milset Steam Photo Contest and received High Distinction. My work has also been exhibited in Nikon’s Youth Photography Exhibition. Alongside still photography, I develop photography-based video projects and use the camera as a tool for long-term observation of changing environments and personal experience.
