Ethics

 

I take photographs to tell stories. I’m fascinated by people, places, and things, and I believe that each subject has its own unique narrative to share. For me, photography is more than just a technical skill; it’s a way to capture moments and perspectives that might otherwise go unnoticed. Because of this, I feel a deep responsibility to represent my subjects authentically. When photographing individuals or communities, I always prioritize consent and respect, ensuring that they feel seen and understood. My goal is to capture their essence, telling their story rather than imposing my own interpretation.

​

When it comes to photographing places and objects, I’m drawn to the history, culture, and emotions tied to them. I approach these subjects with care, aiming to reflect their true significance. I avoid manipulating the scene in ways that would distort their story, focusing instead on the natural elements—lighting, composition, and framing—that help communicate their narrative.

​

In terms of post-processing, I strive to maintain the authenticity of my work. If I’m documenting a moment or a scene, I prefer minimal editing to preserve its rawness. However, if editing can help convey the emotion or story I’m trying to express, I feel comfortable making adjustments, as long as it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the subject.

Ultimately, my ethics in photography are rooted in a deep respect for the stories my subjects have to tell. I want my images to not only be visually compelling but also thought-provoking, offering viewers a glimpse into lives, places, and objects they might not have considered before.
