“I feel like everything is in its place when people are tender and attentive to each other.”

I chose love. I started taking photos back in school; I loved hanging out with friends by the sea and capturing photos. My parents didn't allow me to take a camera, but I quietly slipped out of the house with it, despite the restrictions. I couldn't do otherwise. This impulse is hard to compare to anything else. I only decided to devote myself to photography in 2022. At first, I shot for coffee shops and restaurants, perfume brands, clothing and jewelry. But love won. I chose to photograph couples because of my incredible sentimentality and my love for love. I feel like everything is in its place when people are tender and attentive to each other.
