Photography has always been a form of art that speaks to me. The way a photo can create a story, experience, emotion or memory just from a frozen moment in time is simply magic.

I believe in the timeless beauty and authenticity of film. For me, film photography is more than just a medium - it’s an art form that invites intentionality and patience. From the warm tones found in nature, the calm and quiet stillness of a portrait, or the raw emotion in a fleeting moment, film allows me to slow down and truly connect with the world around me. Each shot is deliberate, each frame a reminder of the beauty surviving all around us. Film embraces the unpredictable and the imperfect, creating images that feel raw and authentic. Film demands patience, precision, and the ability to accept flaws - kind of like our own lives. The process of developing images creates a sense of nostalgia and craftsmanship, elevating each shot into something tangible - something timeless. This connection to the past is an anchor into being present with what is right in front of us.

A photograph preserves not just an image, but the essence of the moment - the laughter, the stillness, the energy, connection, emotion, and all the space between. The ability to freeze an experience that might otherwise fade. When you look back at that photo, you're not just seeing a picture but you’re able to relive that exact moment, feeling the emotions, hearing the sounds and experiencing the atmosphere again. A small story within the bigger picture of the bustling world around us. Photographs being a visual reminder of the people, places. and times that lead us all here to this moment. In a world that moves so fast, a photo allows us to hold on to what matters most - The Present.
