Over the last two years, photography has become more than just taking pictures for me. It’s become a way to slow down, notice details I would normally rush past, and hold on to moments that feel a little too fleeting.

This collection is a mix of places near and far, all connected by the same idea: chasing light, atmosphere, and emotion. My style is often described as cinematic or dreamy, but for me, it’s simply about creating images that feel like memories you can step into.

Venice has always been special to me. Waking up before sunrise, when the canals are still quiet, gives you the feeling the city belongs only to you. Watching boats glide across the Grand Canal or standing in the narrow alleys as the first golden light hits—it feels almost like stepping into a movie set. Paris, on the other hand, is pure poetry. The Eiffel Tower has been photographed millions of times, but catching a bird in flight across the frame or seeing it glow at sunset makes it feel new again, like it’s revealing a side you don’t see on postcards.

Some photos take me further away. In Sri Lanka, I watched a fisherman perched above the waves, perfectly still as the ocean moved beneath him. It reminded me that patience can be its own art form. On another day, a train winding through the jungle felt like a symbol of discovery—a reminder that even the journey itself can be the story.

And then there are the moments closer to home. New York isn’t exactly my backyard, but standing on the Staten Island Ferry, the skyline framed by the ferry gate, felt strangely familiar. Just an everyday commute for thousands of people, yet in that light, it became timeless. The same feeling appears in smaller ways too: walking down a quiet street in Porto after the rain, watching sunlight pour across an airport floor, or standing in a cathedral that makes you feel both small and infinite at the same time.

In the end, these photos are not just about places. They’re about atmosphere—about chasing that mix of nostalgia and wonder, about finding beauty in both the iconic and the ordinary. My hope is that when you look at them, you feel a little bit of that magic too—the fragments of light that make us pause, remember, and dream.
