The journey and story begins when I lost my father to cancer in August 2016, which drove me to realize that one day I will also die; but do I die knowing I pursued my dreams or that I wasted my life? It was then, that I started to pursue my dreams of becoming a professional photographer. My images explore emotions, love and strength through composition, lighting, and subject matter. As I look to the future, I look forward to continuing the exploration of our humanity for many years to come."
