My love for photography began when I received my first camera on my ninth birthday. I originally dreamed of filming friends at the skate park and capturing the energy of extreme sports. Over time, I became more drawn to photography, learning how to freeze moments in time and tell stories through a single frame. The skate park became my first classroom, where I developed both my technical skills and creative eye—experimenting with composition, movement, and natural light in a dynamic, real-world environment.

I went on to study creative media production, gaining hands-on experience producing audio-visual media products, analysing media audiences, developing my photography skills for a variety of projects, and planning and pitching media projects—skills that translate directly into organising professional shoots, events, and client projects.

Outside of professional work, my photography hobby is centred around people and real, unposed moments. I have a particular interest in street and documentary-style photography, capturing genuine emotion and storytelling in everyday life. The curiosity and pleasure of encountering many characters is a big part of what drives me—being lucky to meet some extraordinary people, learning and laughing with them. I bring this energy with me, no matter where I go, including into my professional work.
