I remember my father handing me a camera on my 9th birthday. At first I wasn't sure what to do with it, but after my father told me about the basics, it didn't take long for me to learn how to use it. As my pictures improved, my interest in photography continued growing and twenty years later I still love clicking my camera at anything that interests me. I simply refuse to leave home without my camera because I believe there is always something special worth capturing. When I go on holiday, I enjoy taking pictures of exotic landscapes, but I'm more interested in taking photographs of ordinary things and people in their daily lives. It's usually in those simple moments that you can find a certain magic. Photography has made me see the world in a different way and appreciate its astonishing beauty.
