I've been a wanna-be photographer since the age of 5 when I received my first (toy) camera. I dreamed of the day when I could buy a decent camera and shoot to my hearts content.

I finally was able to get myself a decent camera, yet my heart never seems to stop yearning to shoot more and more photos.

My photography philosophy is to try and make the every day items be more beautiful - whether that is obtained by bringing out the texture, the color or the shape.

It's less about my manipulation of the object or person and more about capturing what is inherently lovely so others can see it.
