There’s something about the in-between moments the ones most people overlook. That’s where I find the story. Photography, for me, isn’t just about capturing an image; it’s about preserving the feeling,
the motion,
the silent fleeting seconds that slip past unnoticed.
I picked up a camera young, but it wasn’t until later that I understood what it meant to see rather than just look. My grandfather had this way of slowing down time, whether through stories, quiet observation, or the way he valued a single moment. That stuck with me. It shaped how I frame life, not just through a lens, but in the way I approach every scene, every subject, every story waiting to be told.
Cars in motion, the quiet intensity of a wedding, a fleeting expression in a portrait, there’s an art in catching the unscripted, the raw. Photography is more than a craft to me. It’s the process, the chase, the subtlety of light shifting at the right second.
It’s knowing when to wait
and when to move.
This is what I love. Not just the moments captured, but everything that happens before and after that shutter clicks.
Focus doesn't come from the lens, but from the person holding it.
