THEME 1

Why I choose this theme?

Passionate about fashion and photography as personal expression

From a young age, I’ve had a passion for both photography and fashion. I loved capturing moments with my dad’s camera and expressing my personality through clothes and accessories. As I grew older, I wanted to combine these two passions to shape my career.

Practicing fashion photography for two years.

With my aesthetic-driven lifestyle, I feel that fashion photography offers great potential for my personal growth. It’s a field where I can freely express my own artistic ideas and perspectives.

Passion for helping others and affirming self-worth through problem-solving.

I love solving problems for others and helping them achieve common goals. I also enjoy collaborating with people, working together, and creating shared memories. To me, a photographer should be a partner in the growth of a brand.
