Photography, Running and eating.



My life is a tapestry woven from three passions: photography, running, and eating. Each of these pursuits enriches my life in unique ways and often intersect to create memorable experiences.

Photography: is my creative outlet, a way to capture the beauty and stories that surround us. With a camera in hand, I explore the world, seeking to document the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. My photography classes have provided me with the technical skills to refine my craft, allowing me to experiment with different styles and subjects. Whether it's the serene landscape of a morning run or the vibrant colors of a bustling market, I strive to capture images that evoke emotion and tell a story.

Running: is my sanctuary, a time for reflection and rejuvenation. It offers me a sense of freedom and a connection to the world around me. As I run through city streets or along nature trails, I find inspiration in the rhythm of my footsteps and the changing scenery. Running not only keeps me physically fit but also fuels my creativity, often leading to new photographic ideas and perspectives.

*Eating: is a celebration of culture and community. I am passionate about exploring diverse cuisines and discovering new flavors. Whether I'm trying a new recipe at home or dining at a local restaurant, I find joy in the culinary arts. Eating is not just about nourishment; it's about savoring the experience and sharing it with others. My love for food often finds its way into my photography, as I capture the artistry and vibrancy of dishes that tell a story of their own.

Together, these passions create a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. Photography allows me to capture the essence of my experiences, running keeps me grounded and energized, and eating connects me to the world through flavors and traditions. I invite you to join me on this journey, where each step, each frame, and each bite is an opportunity to explore and appreciate the richness of life.
