My work focuses on noticing the quiet details that usually go unseen. This photograph grew out of a moment of slowing down in the woods, paying attention to the small textures and soft colors that make up the forest floor. I’m drawn to subjects that seem ordinary at first glance like fallen branches, moss, scattered leaves, and try to show the stillness and subtle beauty within them. While making this piece, I focused on soft natural light, muted tones, and a shallow depth of field to highlight the delicate growth on the moss-covered log. My process is simple and patient: I walk, observe, and wait for something understated to reveal itself. I want viewers to feel calm when they look at my work, and to remember that even the smallest parts of nature hold quiet stories worth slowing down for.

I consider myself an creative because I believe that anyone that creates a form of art or artistic self expression is creative. This means that a 2 year old kid that throws paint onto a paper is an creative because they're creating their form of self expression.
