The journey to where I am today began with just a small DV camera. This relic of early 2000s technology may appear out of date now, but it was my first introduction to the world of visual storytelling. I remember the thrill of holding it in my hands, pressing the record button, and realizing that I could capture moments, and make them into something memorable.
The Mini DV Days: Learning the Basics
The first camera was much more than merely a tool; it served as an educator’s tool. I gained knowledge the basic techniques of framing, lighting, and timing—elements I later realized were the building blocks of good storytelling. I spent many hours filming anything and everything, from family gatherings to everyday scenes, experimenting with angles, and figuring out what made a shot feel right.
"From a simple mini DV camera to a lifelong passion, my journey into visual storytelling taught me that it's not about the gear—it's about the love for creating and capturing stories, one frame at a time."
