My journey into photography began when I was around 12 years old, using my father’s camera. Back then, I loved exploring my neighborhood, capturing photos of anything that caught my eye along the way. As my interest grew, my father decided to support my budding passion and bought me my very first camera—a classic Argus Giant Achiever, which I still cherish to this day!

Photography has been a constant in my life, a way to see and share the world through my own perspective. Each frame tells a story, and every click reminds me of the joy I felt as a curious kid wandering through familiar streets with a camera in hand.

Although I was never able to dedicate the time and seriousness I desired, I always felt a strong attraction to photography. It wasn’t until 2016 that I bought my second camera, an Olympus EM-10 Mark III, which I replaced a year later with the Mark II, and eventually with my current camera, a Sony A7III.

I began taking photography seriously nearly 20 years after owning my first camera...(yeah, it's a lot of time!)

During this time, I steadily gained experience while enjoying hikes and traveling across various countries in Asia. I started with landscape photography, a genre I still hold in high regard, but over time, I shifted my focus to street photography.

Living in China back then made me appreciate cities and the everyday lives of people. Places like Hong Kong, Taipei, and Guangzhou deeply inspired me to keep exploring, traveling, and embracing one of the greatest passions of my life.

Now, I live in Madrid, Spain. While I still haven’t been able to dedicate 100% of my time and energy to photography, I am gradually finding more of that precious time I’ve always longed for.

Today, I work part-time as a photographer, selling my photographs through Etsy and taking custom orders. I also collaborate with local businesses in my city to promote photography and its appreciation. This journey continues to be a fulfilling blend of creativity and connection, allowing me to share my perspective with others while growing as an artist.

And even though it remains a part-time job for now, I will continue dedicating my time and passion to ultimately reach my goal of making it a full-time endeavor!
