Teaching Philosophy

My journey in visual arts has been shaped by a genuine love for the craft, persistent curiosity, and steady dedication rather than any innate talent. Each photograph and video I produce represents a new learning experience influenced by constructive criticism, close observation, and a commitment to honest storytelling. This outlook guides my teaching philosophy: anyone can cultivate the skills and confidence to excel in photography and videography with the proper support and practice.
