I love being able to give the gift of memories. You’ve probably heard the saying, “pictures are worth a thousand words.” Well, it’s true, because photographs tell such personal stories. They bring me back to such treasured moments I was experiencing with an instant recap of emotions, which I may have otherwise totally forgotten about. When I look back at photographs, they allow me to re-live certain parts of my life that I will never be able to replicate again, and I’m beyond grateful to have them.

This question has made me think deeply about all those years since the very beginning I started learning photography until now.

Why do I love photography? Because I want to tell stories that can only be effectively conveyed through pictures. Because there are power in images. Power to move hearts, to sway emotions, to make changes.

And also because it can also serve as a statement of myself. A testament of everything I've witnessed, happy laughs or desperate cries, newborn babies or passing lives, from the most mundane to the most amazing things. Everything.
