Awards and press
While I believe that strong images speak for themselves, external recognition through awards and publications is also important—so here are a few that have highlighted my work over the past years. After participating in my first contest in early 2024 (The Photo Week) to better understand how such events work, I took a step back for most of the year to focus on completing my academic journey and graduating.
Now, in 2025, I’ve made the decision to fully dedicate myself to photography as my career. I’m actively entering awards and reaching out to the press to gain visibility and exposure for my work.
