"Through the lens of my career, I learned that beauty is not found—it is recognized, in all places and all faces."
"Photography has been my teacher, revealing that beauty whispers from every corner and within every soul."
"The camera trained my eye, but my heart learned the truth—beauty lives in every moment and every being."
