I’m very excited to tell you a little bit about my journey as a photographer. Taking iconic pictures as a photographer goes beyond just using a camera to capture a moment. It has more to do with understanding lighting, lighting equipment, and how it works. As a professional photographer, I'm supposed to make my work look good, and edit them to perfection. That way, I can enhance the beauty of that picture and bring life to it, so when anyone captured in that picture sees themselves, it would bring a smile to their face. The main reason I decided to be a photographer is to see people smile and capture every beautiful moment.

I took an interest in photography while working for a photographer; it was more of a hobby then. I just love watching people’s happiness as I captured the moment for them. That was my first step into a long and fruitful photography career.

One thing I've always known as a Photographer is that photographs play an important role in everyone’s life – they connect us to our past, and they remind us of people, places, feelings, stories, and our best moments. They can help us to know who we are.

In my four years as a photographer, I have taken pictures of cute kids and preschoolers, beautiful couples, surprise engagements, wedding. I concluded that photography documents your journey through life. The journey and make you see how far you've come in life.

The power of photography is profound I mean it's like magic. Taking a shot, beautifying it, and leaving your viewers smiling, somehow you seem to control their emotion with a single shot. One click of a camera can at times bring love and hope and a lot more.

For me, Wedding photographs are a serious matter, the real deal, and I don’t get any second chances. That’s why I prepare and organize myself. Weddings are like the most beautiful day in two people's lives, it's like the happiest moment of their life and they just want to get the most out of it. It's only a one day thing, and they want it to live in their hearts forever, they want to keep the memories in their heart, they need every detail, every second of it, every minute. As a photographer I think I've only got one chance and I have to make it perfect.

As a preschooler photographer creating the best photographs for preschoolers might seems to be a long process, but it becomes pretty easy and fun when you master the process. You have to make the kids laugh, engage them in conversations at times, play with them and be as friendly as possible with them.

Taking a surprise engagement photograph is something I enjoy doing, it is one of those major life events that are so full of happiness and hope for the future. What's cool about proposal photographs is they end in an engagement. The idea behind secret proposal photography is to photograph something special that’s often not photographed. It's about capturing when they say “yes” when they make that lifelong decision with joy and pure love.

Photography is special, something joyful. It's so beautiful when you get to be part of people's beautiful moments. Can I say it's magical, it's enchanting? You don't only get to be part of people's beautiful moments, you get to capture it for them, you get to beautify it such that when they see it in years to come, it will make them smile, cry, laugh, tell a story, bring them hope.

Photography is like that story you can put into words. As a photographer, I make people understand what life means to them. When I take a shot, I freeze a moment and expose the reality of that moment. Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures. The moment captured in a picture never changes, even the people in it change. As a photographer, I am grateful for the opportunity to create and share visual stories. It's a passion that

constantly uplifts me and makes me feel alive.
