Welcome to 30 SECONDS AT F11,
My journey with long exposure photography began in 2020 when I met someone who changed my view of photography as both a medium and an art form. —
For me, photography isn’t just about capturing what we see; it’s about unveiling the beauty that often goes unnoticed.
Long-exposure photography lets me tell stories in a way that’s both technical and poetic.
This site is more than a collection of images. It’s a window into my journey, a story woven through early mornings, long walks, and the quiet determination to capture something extraordinary while knowing I might come back with nothing because the images take so long to take. The true magic lies not in the effortless click of a shutter, but in the silent orchestra of dedication, discipline, and patience that precedes it.
There’s a profound satisfaction in waiting—in letting the world align with your creative vision, in allowing the light to dance just right, embracing the challenges nature has to offer. Waiting for the light and timing everything just right.
The early morning walks, the precise placement of the tripod, and the anticipation the interplay of light and shadow. Photography, at its core, is the marriage of technical skill and an artist’s willingness to embrace the unexpected. It’s a celebration of the journey—transforming fleeting moments into timeless reflections of dedication and passion.
I hope these images inspire you to see the world through a lens that celebrates not just what we see, but the effort, emotion, and artistry behind it.
