Embracing the Beauty of Simplicity

Lately, I’ve been drawn to something different in my work - a deeper kind of storytelling. 

Photography has always been about connection for me: capturing emotions, moments, and the essence of a person in a way that feels honest and real. 

But recently, I’ve found myself gravitating toward a more understated approach, one that feels intimate, raw, and beautifully unfiltered.

There’s a unique magic in simplicity. 

In the play of light and shadow. In capturing the quiet, powerful moments where a person’s essence shines through. 

It’s about finding beauty not in what’s added, but in what’s already there - the shapes, the curves, the textures, and the subtle expressions that speak volumes without saying a word.

It’s no secret that I love creating bold, glamorous portraits. There’s power in transformation, in seeing yourself in a way you never have before. But there’s also power in stripping it all back and celebrating what’s raw and real. Both approaches have their own beauty, their own story to tell.

As I continue to grow and evolve as a photographer, I find myself inspired by contrast - the light and dark, the bold and subtle, the polished and undone. There’s something so captivating about leaning into what feels natural, letting the edges soften, and embracing imperfection as part of the story.

This shift in my work has been energizing. I’ve been experimenting with new techniques, refining my use of light (thanks to my wonderful mentor Forough Yavari), and focusing on creating images that feel like art - intimate, expressive, and deeply personal. 

It’s a space where I can capture not just how someone looks, but who they are.

I can’t wait to see where this new creative energy takes me and the stories it allows me to tell. There’s so much beauty in stepping into the unknown, and I’m excited for what’s to come. 

Stay tuned-there’s magic on the horizon.
