I discovered photography at the age of 21, initially as a casual hobby, capturing moments with friends and family for fun rather than as a serious pursuit. However, in 2020, I was introduced to analog photography, which quickly became a passion. I was fascinated by the process of developing film and negatives, finding it both intricate and rewarding.

At first, working with analog cameras was a challenge—learning to develop negatives and mastering shutter speed required patience and practice. Unlike digital cameras, which offer instant feedback and both manual and automatic settings, film photography demands a deeper understanding of light, composition, and timing. The anticipation of waiting to see the final image added to the excitement and artistic process.

Over time, I began using my analog camera more frequently than my digital one, experimenting particularly with double-exposure photography and incorporating political themes and protest art into my work. Many of my photographs are layered compositions, blending different locations, periods, and perspectives. My black-and-white photography often explores themes of art, politics, architecture, human connection, and behind-the-scenes moments from film productions I have worked on.
