I'm a photographer driven by curiosity: about light, about small details, and about the quiet moments most of us walk past. I shoot with whatever is at hand, from my smartphone to a digital camera, and I love how each one invites me to see familiar places in new ways.
Photography came into my life when I needed it most. For nearly two decades, work had almost all of my time and energy, and while I gave it my best, the creative, curious part of me gradually fell quiet. I came to realise I wanted to rediscover who I was beyond my job title, and to make something that was truly my own.
My days had settled into a familiar rhythm, and I knew I needed something that would spark my curiosity again. So I chose to slow down, carve out space for myself, and reconnect with who I am through creativity.
Photography gradually became that path. It also brought me closer to the memory of my father, who volunteered as a photographer and had a gift for noticing meaningful moments. Even so, I hesitated at first. Self-doubt had its say: "What will people think? Am I any good at this?"
I started small. I'd sit on a park bench, breathe, and simply watch the world. Those pauses grew into early-morning walks, then longer weekend wanderings, with my smartphone always in hand.
One small act of courage changed everything. I challenged myself to take a photograph in a public café, an image I later titled "Savouring Thy Nectar." It was my first truly public moment as a photographer, and it loosened the self-consciousness that had been holding me back. From then on, photography became my way of seeing, feeling, and sharing the world. Am I still hesitant? Yes, but less than before. And I’ve come to accept that some moments are just for me to experience, not to framed.
Since then, I’ve followed my curiosity across genres: macro, landscapes, and astrophotography, which a friend introduced me to by sharing the magic of the night sky. I once assumed I’d stay with a particular genre, but I’ve since learned to go wherever curiosity leads. Even so, astrophotography remains my go-to. There’s something special about seeing the world when it falls silent: the darkness, the shimmering stars, and familiar landscapes revealed in an entirely different light.
I’m still evolving as a photographer, I’m still growing, still learning, and still curious about where this creative journey will lead next.
To everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way, thank you. It has meant more than you know!
Savouring Thy Nectar!
