Funnily enough, I think one of my aha moments with photography was when I started getting into musical instruments. Now, you’ll probably wonder what music has to do with visual arts. Well, for me pretty much everything. I find myself wandering to places whenever I listen to music and forget to be actually watching a movie when I get too caught up with the soundtrack. My love for music is what truly pushed me to dive into visual arts. I gave piano a try, then trumpet and drums, then guitar .. but as much as I loved playing instruments, I never felt completely satisfied with that. I knew I needed something more, something more practical so to say.
My ultimate goal with photography is to tell stories. Not necessarily my story. I want people to wander and go places just by looking at my photos. I want to give them the right input to start creating their own stories.
Traveling for me represents the best way to learn and grow. I am able to learn about different people and cultures in person without anyone else interfering or deferring my opinion about something. I think seeing and experiment in person is essential in order to have unique experiences and have a better understanding of things. Reading about a specific place or culture is one thing; but seeing with your own eyes is a whole different level. You are becoming part of something, you truly incorporate what you see and learn, it’s not something external anymore.
In the future I would like to get involve in more volunteering experiences and environment oriented projects. I know that by doing this, I will also “leave” something good behind me and something that is more concrete than visual content!
