A Place That Carries Hope

A Place of Hope- Stupa, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

If you’re passionate enough you should take the risk. So it is with no regrets and with the willingness to learn that I decided to give up my budding architecture career to come to Hong Kong in search of opportunities in photography.
I love photography because of its ability to communicate how I feel at a particular moment at a particular place. To me capturing an image is about painting a feeling generated by the context. The sounds, smells, textures and most importantly the light contributes to this and it drives me to take better shots, hoping with each new click I will be able to capture a new mood, a new atmosphere, a new message.
I believe I have to perfect many things from simple ones like breathing , to complicated ones like equipment mastery and what I have self learnt during the past two years is very little compared to what I have to learn. Unfortunately I have had very little guidance up to now and very little opportunity to learn. I believe with such an opportunity I will be able to become the photographer that I want to be. Not a person who simply adds some more images to the world but a person that expose the real essence of place and the stories they tell.
