My passion for photography started in the first year of college when I bought my first camera. During the summer of my college career, I spent a lot of time traveling around the world, camera in hand, capturing numerous moments. That is when I found my passion for photography. I wanted to document my trip by sharing memorable photos with my friends.

The first time I was in Paris, I was shocked by all the historical architecture and unparalleled street views. At that moment, I grasped the art of storytelling. Through my travel photography, I learned a single image could unfold an entire narrative. From expansive landscapes and intricate architecture to the vibrant locals and delectable cuisine, I realized I could encapsulate the very soul of a destination, painting a vivid picture for my audience. I can convey the essence of a destination to my audience.

As I got more experienced in photography, I created my photography Instagram, called @willyouvist, as a platform to showcase the photos I felt passionate about. After a few years of dedication, a travel course website, @brighttrip, asked permission to post my photos on their platform. This recognition marked a significant milestone in my journey, validating my efforts as my photos caught the attention of a travel website-focused platform. This experience reminded me to always appreciate the value of recognition and the opportunities it brings; I will never take it for granted.

During my visits to various cities, my greatest source of joy was capturing the beautiful moments on the street. These snapshots encapsulated the local culture and the essence of people's daily life. I immersed myself in the city that encourages interactions with locals, gaining insights into their way of life. Engaging with people while taking their portraits or documenting cultural events makes me feel connected and, further, enriches my appreciation of what the city offers.
