2022–present
Photography & Videography
Learning to see — really see — what's in front of you, and then finding a way to show someone else exactly what you saw.
The Beginning
I started getting serious about photography in 2022, initially just shooting on whatever phone I had. The limitations were clarifying: you couldn’t hide behind gear. You had to think about composition, light, moment.
What I Shoot
Street photography and portraiture primarily. I’m drawn to the human element — expressions, interactions, the in-between moments that most people miss.
Videography followed naturally. The additional dimension of time, of motion, of sound — it opens up a completely different kind of storytelling.
What the Craft Teaches
Photography is about attention. You can’t take an interesting photograph if you’re not paying attention. That practice of looking — really looking — at the world around you changes how you experience it.
Editing is its own craft. Knowing which images to keep (most of them are wrong), how to process them, how to build a sequence that says something — that’s where vision meets discipline.
Publications and Media Club
My interest in photography and visual media led me to join the Publications and Media Club at Swiss Cottage Secondary, where I eventually became President. The role pushed me to think about visual communication at a larger scale — not just my own work, but what a publication or media output could say about a community.
Current
Shooting regularly, experimenting with video. Always learning.
