Acceptance Speech

I am very happy and truly surprised to receive such an award.

 

About the Award-Winning Works

Aside from the photo shoot itself, I vividly remember how much fun we all had together during that time!

I enjoy taking photos while traveling, and as I continued to take them, I began to find portraits fascinating.
