It all began during my university days when I first picked up a film camera. In a world saturated with social media images and digital cameras offering endless editing opportunities, I found myself yearning for something different. I craved the uncertainty and serendipity that film photography had to offer, as well as the delayed gratification that came with it.

In an age where instant gratification is the norm, film photography taught me to slow down and appreciate the art of anticipation. Waiting for the film to be developed, not knowing exactly how each shot would turn out, added a touch of excitement and mystery to my creative process.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of film photography is memorializing that special moment onto analog film. Each click of the shutter becomes a deliberate act, a conscious decision to immortalize a fragment of time. With film, I'm able to capture the emotions, colors, and atmosphere in a way that digital formats often struggle to replicate.
