Interests
Photography
I am passionate about photography because it is not only an artistic medium but also it is a way of knowing. It changes the way we perceive the world around us. Photography and architecture are closely interconnected disciplines. It makes you pay attention to detail and think carefully about the scenery, lighting, and composition.
