My journey with photography began in middle school, when my father gifted me a German camera and taught me the fundamentals—loading film, composing a shot, and appreciating the patience behind every frame. From that moment, I was drawn to capturing the beauty around me: family, friends, and the landscapes that shaped my world.

A turning point came when I met the renowned photographer Johsel Namkung, whose work and wisdom inspired me to see beyond the surface. Through his influence, I learned to observe nature with greater intention—seeking pure, unguarded moments, shifting light, and the quiet elegance of color and form.

Today, photography is both my passion and my practice. I continue to explore the world with curiosity and gratitude, always looking through the lens for truth, beauty, and connection. I consider it a gift to witness and preserve the art that already exists in nature—and to share it, one frame at a time.
