Over the years I realized that the moment I press the shutter is never accidental. When I take a photograph, something passes through me — a feeling, an intuition, an inner recognition of the moment. In that sense, photography is not only about seeing, but about sensing. As Henri Cartier-Bresson once described it, photography is “the simultaneous recognition of the significance of an event and the precise organization of forms that give it meaning.” For me, that recognition often happens instinctively, guided by emotions rather than deliberate thought.

Later, when I return to my photographs, I often discover meanings that I did not consciously plan. It feels as if the image reflects something from within me that I only begin to understand afterwards. In this way, photography becomes more than a visual record — it becomes a path to self-reflection. Through the images I create, I gradually understand my own perception, emotions, and philosophical depth. Photography, therefore, is not only about the world in front of the camera, but also about the inner world of the person behind it.
