''An urban woman longing for the true love''

Photography
2023
As a photographer, I focus on capturing moments that reveal the complexity of human emotions, especially themes of crush and desire. My work aims to freeze the intimate moments that define the passions and longings of the human heart and give them a visual voice. Inspired by the classic French song "La Vie En Rose", I sought to create images that capture the transformative power of love and the beauty it brings to everyday life. Through my photographs, I aim to connect with the viewer on a deep emotional level and invite them to share a universal human experience.

“In my photography, I strive to capture the fleeting moments that define the passions and longings of the human heart. Whether it is the subtle eye contact between lovers, the gentle touch of hands, or the affectionate whisper, I strive to freeze these intimate moments in time and give them a visual voice. My work is inspired by the classic French song "La Vie En Rose", which speaks of the transformative power of love and the beauty it can bring to the most mundane aspects of life. Like the lyrics of the song, my photographs seek to capture the essence of love and desire, bringing them to life with vibrant, detailed images that invite the viewer to share in the experience. Ultimately, my goal as a photographer is to create images that resonate with viewers on a deep emotional level, allowing them to connect with universal themes of love, desire, and human experience.”
