Self Portrait, April 2024
Welcome to Read Through My Lens
Imagine that feeling when you’re standing in the perfect spot, camera in hand, heart racing as you frame a fleeting moment through your viewfinder. The world falls silent except for the shutter’s click, capturing more than an image—a slice of life, a whisper of time. Now, imagine the nervous excitement as you prepare to share that captured moment with the world, wondering how it will be received, interpreted, and remembered.
This is my way of sharing these captured moments with the world, inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Living, where he urges us to share our creativity with the world. This site is a canvas for those moments—a place where each photograph is not just displayed but serves as a portal into myriad stories and interpretations.
I am a visual storyteller driven by the thrill of capturing the unseen and the challenge of conveying complex emotions through simple shots. My journey from a curious onlooker to a passionate photographer has been a path less traveled, filled with learning, growth, and a relentless pursuit of capturing those fleeting whispers of time.
My Philosophy Deepened
Photography, for me, is more than art—it’s a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and perception, heavily influenced by the ideas of Vilém Flusser in “Towards a Philosophy of Photography” and Marshall McLuhan “Understanding Media - The Extension of Man”. Flusser's concepts on the technical image and McLuhan’s understanding of media as extensions of man shape my approach: each photo is an attempt to extend our vision and challenge our perceptions of the world
. These photographs are not mere representations but are active engagements with reality, urging viewers to see beyond the surface and explore the deeper narratives interwoven in the fabric of everyday life.
The nervous anticipation I feel each time I share a new piece is a testament to the belief that these images are more than visual artifacts; they are dialogues in visual form, waiting to be read, interpreted, and understood in countless ways.
Let's Connect
Dive into these visual narratives, engage with the imagery, and perhaps leave with a new perspective or a shared memory. Your interpretations enrich this creative journey, transforming each photograph from a solitary expression into a shared experience. I can’t wait to hear about your interpretations, lets connect at Instagram or through email.
Be Authentic, Be You
In a world teeming with images, I invite you to pause and reflect here. Each photograph is an invitation to explore, to understand, and to appreciate the complexities captured in a single frame. Let these images speak to you, challenge you, and inspire you to see the world through a broader lens.
Let’s make every snapshot count. Embrace the stories, the beauty, and the transformative power of photography. Explore, interpret, and let these images inspire you to unleash your own creativity, as Rick Rubin urges us all to do.
