I used to edit to make my photos look different. Now I edit to make them feel right. Editing helps me bridge what the camera saw with what I felt in that moment — a small act of balance between truth and interpretation.

I was skeptical of AI at first — I still am, in some ways — but it’s become a quiet collaborator in my creative process. What once would’ve taken me months now happens in weeks. From planning shoots to editing, designing, animating, and shaping words, AI doesn’t replace my creativity; it removes friction and gives me space to focus on the story I want to tell.
