“My work is guided by emotional accuracy rather than technical precision. I am less interested in describing a scene than in translating the way it feels. I use light, motion, and intentional imperfection to honor the truth of a moment — not the correctness of it. My images prioritize presence, energy, and atmosphere over perfection, inviting the viewer to experience the emotional temperature of the story rather than its technical architecture.”
