Taken from the aerial perspective above Namibia's sandscapes, a swift oryx dashes across the terrain, its elegant retreat encapsulated within the striking shadows cast by the adjacent sand dunes. In its sprint, the sand stirred by its rapid motion creates a golden cloud trailing behind, as though the desert is exhaling a breath infused with precious amber.

As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes. Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need. Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects. Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
