My fascination with travel ignited a passion for photography, initially drawing me to capture the breathtaking landscapes that unfolded before me. The allure of distant horizons and the ever-changing tapestry of nature's beauty compelled me to document these scenes, preserving their splendor through my lens. However, as I journeyed further, I realized that the true essence of these places was intricately woven into the lives of the people who inhabited them. This realization shifted my focus, leading me to document not just the landscapes, but the rich, vibrant stories of the communities and individuals I encountered.
