I have always loved photography, and most recently loving bringing it back to the basics by using a Holga camera—a plastic, medium format camera known for its unpredictability, light leaks, vignetting, and soft focus. Rather than seeing these qualities as imperfections, I embrace them as integral to the creative process. The Holga allows me to step away from technical precision and engage with photography as a tactile, intuitive, and often serendipitous act.
Using this camera is an intentional choice to slow down and be present. The lack of control forces me to relinquish perfection and instead capture fleeting emotion, texture, and atmosphere. Each frame is a negotiation between the seen and the unseen, between the subject and the flaws that come from the mechanics of the camera itself. These "flaws" become part of the story, transforming ordinary moments into images that feel ghostly, raw, and timeless.
Through this medium, I explore themes of memory, impermanence, and the beautifully imperfect nature of human perception. The Holga becomes not just a tool, but a collaborator—one that adds its own voice to the final image.
