How did you initially get started in photography, and what drew you specifically to the genres of fashion, beauty, and portraits?

Since the age of 14, I’ve embraced various jobs, always gravitating toward whatever opportunity brought in an income. I found myself immersed in the world of tattoo artistry, believing that was my calling. However, everything changed when my uncle introduced me to a DSLR camera back in 2008. Holding that camera was a revelation, I was captivated. I couldn’t sleep that night, and from then on, I frequented my uncle’s house to experiment with that digital marvel. Those initial moments, capturing images in simple JPG format, were enchanting. Unaware of RAW files at the time, I spent two years learning and growing alongside that camera. It became clear that photography was my future. As soon as I acquired my own camera, I also joined a theatre company, eager to capture the essence of people through my lens.
