Before I picked up a camera, I was someone that rarely traveled and tried new things. I never imagined that one day I would be lucky enough to get to some of Earth’s most beautiful destinations and meet some of the most unique people. Now, my camera has become my eyes, documenting every place and every encounter from the concrete jungle of Dubai to the cloudy mountains of Bhutan. Through traveling and photography, I learned that this world is incredible. There is so much to experience and so much to learn. I hope my photos can inspire people to get out there and see what this world has to offer.
