Growing up, I never had the chance to try photography. I had always been interested in it, but as my school didn't have any subjects, there was no opportunity to try my hand at it. It wasn't until 2017, when my partner - now fiancee - convinced me to give photography a go and follow my dreams.
After consulting some friends who are photographers, I decided to buy my first entry-level DSLR, a Nikon D3400. It goes without saying that making that purchase changed my life forever. At the time, I was going through a rough patch with my cystic fibrosis and getting the camera allowed me to focus on something positive. It wasn't long after getting it that I ended up living and breathing for it, pursuing it whenever and wherever I could. Photography was my reason to get up in the morning, and it was my reason to push forward. Something about being able to tell stories through a photo resonated with my soul and I wanted nothing more than to create a grand odyssey for everyone to witness.
I started with landscapes, then delved into astrophotography, street photography and evenphotography when I had fallen into a really dark place.
