You can’t photograph the scent of wet grass in the morning. You can’t hear birdsong through a screen. But you can try — through light, framing, and the silence of a photo — to tell the story of a place, a moment, a mood.

For me, photographing nature is a way of being closer — to nature, to time, to myself. I pause, I learn patience. I watch how a reed bunting balances on a blade of reed, how a white-tailed eagle circles above the forest, how the kingfisher’s blue fades into the greenery.

These are not just images. They are traces of encounters that stay with me long after I return.
