Although I was a STEM student, deeply immersed in academic papers, my passion for photography and videography has been a constant since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this time that I truly understood the value of capturing moments as they unfold. We can never recreate the exact emotion of a moment, but through images, we can preserve its essence. Some of my favorite tools for this creative journey are the Casio Exilim EX-Z1200, Kodak Ektar H35, and Canon EOS Rebel 2000, each of which holds a special place in my heart as I continue to explore the world through my lens.
