My fine art photography collection, Inspirations, began not with a camera in hand, but with a whisper in the quiet of the night. It’s a series born from dreams, visions, and those subtle promptings that stir the heart when the world is still.
For me, photography has always been more than a craft—it’s a bridge between the unseen and the tangible, a way to capture fleeting moments of wonder and give them form. Inspirations is my ongoing love letter to that mystery, a project that grows with every image, every word, every breath of intuition.
That’s how Inspirations works. It’s not methodical or planned. It’s a dance with the unknown. Some pieces start with a vision—a burst of color behind my eyes, a shape that feels like it’s calling me. Others come as promptings, those quiet nudges that pull me toward a place or a moment I can’t explain until I’m there. I’ve stood in abandoned buildings, their walls peeling with stories, or knelt in the dew-soaked grass at dawn, waiting for the light to reveal what I felt but couldn’t yet see. Each photograph is a discovery, a collaboration between me and something greater.
What sets this series apart, I think, is the writing that sometimes flows alongside it. Not every image has words—some don’t need them—but when they come, they’re like a heartbeat beneath the surface. A few lines of poetry might spill out as I process the image, or a short reflection will take shape days later as if the image has been whispering back to me.
This is my heart project, personal and alive, a way to honor what stirs me. Through photography, I hold that dove’s glow, sharing the mystery that started it all.
