“Happy Hour” is a part of a portrait series
I took back at 2009, while working as a
bartender in Lower Manhattan.
That period of my life was my “in
between”. I left my first job, as a designer
in advertising, to explore the opportunity
of becoming a photographer, an artist or
maybe a writer. I was taking time to be an
observer and thought that learning others
by watching and even creeping will help me
get to know myself.
Although my intention was to tell other
people’s stories, I realized I was eventually
telling my own.
I am currently working as a UX designer,
and use photography as a creative outlet
whenever I want to tell a story. I am
interested in the complicated relationship
between the self and selflessness in portrait
photography and photojournalism.
