These experiences have sharpened my eye for detail, composition, and storytelling, skills I am excited to bring into my photography.

Thank you for getting to know me, and I look forward to sharing my journey as I blend my art skills with photography.
My Portfolio
let me show you what I can do, turning my art skills into powerful photography
DIY
This photoshoot captures the contrast between her soft, innocent appearance and the untamed spirit hidden beneath.
I did her makeup, prepared her outfit, and even bought the flowers. I also made some edits, like removing marks on her face, such as piercings and scars. Additionally, I edited the flowers she was holding to make them look more lifelike. I added highlights to her skin and gave her eyes a bit of extra light to enhance her overall beauty.
Through a series of powerful and expressive shots, the images reveal a quiet intensity and a fierce desire waiting to be unleashed,
hinting at the complexity behind her gentle smile. It’s a portrayal of duality — the delicate and the daring, wrapped in a single gaze.
BLACK AND WHITE
She doesn’t need color to make a statement—black and white say it all.
This is a DIY photoshoot. The background in the picture wasn’t originally white; I edited it to make it white. But even with that, I still feel the outcome looks great. I also made some edits, like removing marks on her face to make it look smoother. I enhanced her lips, outfit, and hair to make everything look even more beautiful.
COSPLAY
Meet the enchantress
I was inspired to do this photoshoot by a villain character from the movie Suicide Squad, named Enchantress. I started buying each part of the costume little by little so I could complete it. The entire costume was made by me. On top of that, I did her makeup and tattooed her body. My editing skills also played a part in making it look even better. I enhanced her face, added color to her eyes, and included black smoke and dust effects to give the photo a unique touch and make the overall look more striking.
NEON
A spark in a quiet night
In this photoshoot, I used only two types of lighting (red and blue). Even though it was dark at the time, I believe the lighting in the photo turned out balanced because of the lens I used. I did her makeup and enhanced her skin by adding highlights to make it look more vibrant and sexy.
POSTER
Inspired by The world of Wong Kar-wai
