For as long as I can remember, new ideas have kept popping into my head. From the “wouldn’t it be nice” to the “omg I cannot believe that this doesn’t exist yet”. The list just kept getting longer and longer.

Most of my experience is in photography however, when it comes to the build, organisation and business, I still have much to learn.

 

 

I’ve been focussed on a career in design ever since and came to see photography as a hobby. However, I never managed to shake that feeling of wanting to do more for the places I had visited on my travels. On a dark moon I realised that I could help these places with a single unifying project: Fair Photo. This has been my north star since its inception and this, amongst several other projects, easily manages to fill up my spare time.

When one enjoys the pursuit of the perfect photograph, it can be sometimes too easy to get caught up in our daily routines. We give ourselves less and less time to go out, explore, figure out what we were meant to do, listen to our inner self, create, be free and let rationality take over – slowly diminishing our creativity, passion and spirit.

The pursuit of a good photograph might just be about learning to follow the heart and intuition, to remain in motion to find and reveal that what is magical existence and do its glory justice. It forces to dare, to conquer, to discover, to defy, to make time last, to make time count. Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you  – universe is transformation, stagnation is kryptonite.

Like any other creative art, a photograph too can store emotion. It captures both the journey of the subject and that of the photographer however less visible. It tells a story that commences with a frame of reality – but continues into the realm of imagination.

I hope to remind ourselves of what we live amongst; a unique planet to be proud of. Beauty truly is all around us, but it’s our perspective that determines how we see it – or whether we see it at all.
