From Modeling to Mastering the Lens: My Journey into Photography

My journey into photography began as a model, where I had the privilege of working with some of the top fashion photographers in the industry. Being in front of the camera gave me a unique perspective on the art of photography, allowing me to observe and learn from the very best. These photographers not only inspired me to pursue modeling, but they also ignited my passion for capturing images myself.

I quickly realized that understanding lighting, angles, and composition from the model's perspective was invaluable. It was during this time that I honed my skills in lighting and other essential techniques, learning how to create the perfect shot from both sides of the camera. This experience shaped my approach to photography, helping me develop a style that is both personal and professional, and ensuring that every image I capture tells a story.
