BIOGRAPHY

I spent the first 10 years of my life in a village, but later my family moved to a city. Can't say people there were skeptical about photography, but no one perceived 16-year-olds with cameras as artists though. However, my love for art started in the 5th grade, when my art teacher saw a light in my eyes. And so, the Photo went with me through life. I only started thinking about it as an art at the end of the 9th grade, when making their final albums. As a result, I got great photos, which started my journey of becoming and studying this art form. Of course, the way I was in 2017, and present me are now completely different. One loved nature, landscapes, macro photography, and the other decided to focus on portraits and people. Now In each of my works, I convey the inner state of a person, its emotions, experiences, and desires.
