Capturing Lives Through Photography

What do Neil Armstrong Wlanding on the Moon, the birth of a child or a wedding ceremony have in common? …In case you are still wondering it's the “Moment” of incidence, the events that eventually becomes the part of history, whether personal, or for the mankind as a whole.

Photography as a creative medium possesses the extraordinary power to freeze these such moments, however insignificant or big, and turn these into an accumulation of memories which may have an everlasting impact on us for the rest of our lives.
