I breathed a bright fragment of happiness and it reached the deepest corner of my heart…
PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris
Photographer of the Year 2024
"Being named Photographer of the Year 2024 at the Prix de la Photographie Paris is an achievement that goes far beyond a simple award: it is proof that passion, research, and absolute dedication to visual art can truly touch the hearts of those who look at it.
For me, photography has never been merely a matter of technique or composition. It is a language of the soul, a constant pursuit of light revealing itself within the shadows, a continuous attempt to freeze the fleeting and make it eternal. Behind every single shot lie hours of waiting, vision, patience, and the ongoing urgency to tell a story that words cannot express. I would like to dedicate this award to those who have always believed in my vision, to my daughter and my family, who are my strength and my constant source of daily inspiration. Sincere thanks to the PX3 jury for understanding and valuing my work, and to the colleagues and photography lovers who share the wonder of this journey with me. This recognition is not a destination, but a new beginning. I will continue to explore, to seek beauty in the most unexpected details, and to tell the world's stories through my lens. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
