I am a dedicated hobbyist photographer with a keen focus on capturing the essence of nature, wildlife, and travel through my lens. My journey in photography began during the COVID-19 lockdown, where I started with capturing sunsets and sunrises from the comfort of my home. Since then, I have expanded my portfolio to include bird photography and street photography, with a preference for candid moments that capture genuine emotions.
