Where I get inspiration for my photography and the balance in my life.

Where Do You Get Your Inspiration?

My inspiration comes from a need to escape the social issues and pressures I witness every day. Photography has become my way of finding peace—a place where I can quiet the noise and reconnect with something calm and steady.

I’m drawn to subjects that offer serenity, especially water and the way it moves, reflects, and interacts with its surroundings. Water has a language of its own. It can be still, chaotic, or reflective, but it always tells the truth. Capturing those moments allows me to create images that bring a sense of tranquility to both myself and the viewer.

I don’t force my subjects. I stay open to the moment and photograph what naturally calls to me. That spontaneity leads to honest, heartfelt work. Because I never know what will draw my attention—light, color, movement—my collections grow organically. Each series is shaped by the light and the moment, not by a predetermined plan.

How Do You Find Balance?

That question is a trap—because the honest answer is that balance is something we’re always chasing. Every person has to find their own way to juggle work, family, personal care, and the pressures life throws at us. The time we spend with loved ones is priceless, and family has a way of pushing us to become better and stronger.

Life is already difficult, and when you add economic pressures, social issues, expectations, and mental strain, it becomes even heavier. My own balance is a constant battle. But one piece of advice has stayed with me:

You only compete against yourself.
Make a little more each year to keep up with life.
Become a better person each year.
And never let greed—or any of the other six sins—take over.

My balance comes from creating art and doing art installations. Both allow me to express myself, stay grounded, and relieve some of the financial pressure. They give me purpose and momentum.

What matters most is focusing on my own progress. When I do that, I avoid falling into comparisons, envy, or resentment. Keeping a humble and safe space at home is essential. It’s where I disconnect from the world, reset my mind, and protect the peace I’ve built for myself and my family.

Balance isn’t something you achieve once—it’s something you adjust every day. Life changes, circumstances change, and you adapt with them.

In the end, the key to finding balance is simple:

Look at the person in the mirror.
Be honest with him.
And keep moving forward.
