II HAVE BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY SINCE I WAS 17 YEARS OLD. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE GAINED EXPERIENCE THROUGH VARIOUS ACTIVITIES WITH PHOTOGRAPHERS, PHOTO LABS, AND GALLERIES, WHICH ALLOWED ME TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE FIELD. MY ACADEMIC BACKGROUND IN ART HISTORY, WHICH I STUDIED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAMBURG, FURTHER DEEPENED MY UNDERSTANDING OF VISUAL CULTURE AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.
