I was about 14 years old when I first imagined myself as a photographer. At that time, surfing was everything to me. I tried to understand how to begin, but without the means or direction, photography slowly became a forgotten idea.
Life eventually led me into advertising and design, where I worked across different creative projects. Although I enjoyed the process, photography never truly left my imagination. The turning point came when my father gave me his old professional camera, a Canon 40D — a small gesture that changed everything.
