From May 16th to May 18th, 2025, I had the opportunity to present my first solo photography exhibition in Zürich, Switzerland. The show was hosted at Stage Gallery after I received first place in the Shadows and Reflections open photography competition.
This was more than just an exhibition. It was the first time I shared my work publicly in a curated space where visitors could engage with my photography in person. After nearly eight years of capturing the world through my lens, seeing my images on the walls and witnessing people’s reactions was both humbling and unforgettable.
Around 40 people attended during the three days. Each conversation, question, and moment of connection reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. It is about observing, feeling, and translating emotions into still images.
This experience was a turning point. It gave me clarity and renewed confidence in my work. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in my creative journey — one I’m excited to keep building with every frame I take.
