Photography functions within my practice as both documentation and research. My early work began with film photography and darkroom development, where I studied composition, texture, and tonal range. These foundational experiences established an understanding of framing and material surface that continues to inform my work across media.

As I moved into filmmaking and 3D computer graphics, my focus shifted toward lighting as a structural force. Photography became less about capturing subjects and more about investigating how light defines volume, depth, and atmosphere. The camera operates as a testing ground for spatial relationships, color behavior, and perceptual distortion.

Rather than treating photography as isolated imagery, I use it as a generative tool. It informs sculptural translation, digital modeling, immersive environments, and installation design. Through the study of light and composition, photography functions as a laboratory for understanding how perception can be shaped, abstracted, and reconstructed across physical and digital systems.
