Creativity Is Genetic

  Born into a family with various fields of interest, I have always been a curious child. My family always encouraged me to find my own answers. My parents recognized my potential as a child and tried actively to give me a chance to understand it myself. My father is a self-taught photographer, so I have seen him experiment with different techniques and lights and I was his all-time model.

  One peculiar incident that I shall never forget is when I asked my dad for his camera and he gave it to me without any hesitation. As a middle-class family, having a camera at that time was a huge deal. To hand over an extremely expensive device to a clumsy child of four years has motivated me to make good use of the confidence that he put in me then. Thenceforth, I have not given up on the device that captures moments as well as emotions and stores them for us to go back in time and relive them.
