Why I Created Shadow & Light

When I first picked up a camera, I was immediately drawn to photographing people—not just in the traditional portrait sense, but in capturing the unique connection between people. What fascinated me most was how love and connection take so many different shapes, each feeling distinctly its own.

As I honed my craft, I became captivated by the interplay of light and shadow and how they could completely transform the mood of an image. I began intentionally using both natural and artificial light to enhance and support the emotions within the frame.

My passion lies in creating meaningful photographs that show people how their love feels. I can't wait to share this experience with you.
