"A camera holds the power to shape a narrative, yet the true art of photography lies in restraint. The photographer's duty is not to impose, but to witness—to capture reality as it unfolds, untainted by judgment or illusion. The purpose is not to define what is right or wrong, but to reveal what simply is."
