I long for a time once lost. Not so much a specific moment, but a familiar feeling. It is not my desire to possess these moments, but to simply sit with them. Remembering old times, the same way you would with an old friend.

That longing shapes how I shoot

With soft natural lights, muted color palettes, and patient compositions. I focus on stillness, texture, and emotional tone capturing not only how things look but how they are remembered.
