My four biggest passions are photography, traveling, mountains and sports. It took me quite a while to realize that I could combine all of these things. 

When I was 8 years old, my mom let me use her Sony. We were traveling in Turkey at the time and I documented all the most amazing moments on a film camera. That’s when I realized that photography is really my own thing.

When I look through the viewfinder and press the camera button, the world stops. It’s a special moment. As the image enters the lens, the picture seems to be imprinted more clearly in my memory and brings the character of what is happening, the essence of the moment, the atmosphere, the idea right into my soul. All this I want to transmit with the help of photography — my vision of this world. The beauty and grandeur of mountains, architecture and creativity of city streets, everyday life of people — their characters, emotions and light irony, movement and sports — as a source of life and energy.
