Nataliya Khan's words express it best;
I take pictures because my pictures tell my story. I take pictures because when seen through that viewfinder, the ordinary is beautiful, everything is magical. I take pictures because this world we live in, is breathtaking, and sometimes we forget to notice. I take pictures because our memories can get clouded and I want to remember the little details that ma
ke up our lives right now. I take pictures because this life is uncertain, it can change in the blink of an eye and photography helps us keep a piece of it even when bits of our lives are taken away. I take pictures because happy people are beautiful, crooked smiles are pretty, relationships are magical, and because I believe there is beauty in imperfection. I take pictures because sometimes silence speaks much louder than words, and pictures have a way of doing that, of speaking without words. I take pictures because I know the magic of having your childhood captured to the minutest of details and I want to pass on that gift that my parents gave to me, to my kids too. I want my daughter to be able to look at herself through my eyes. I take pictures because it is a connection between us and our families that live far away. I take pictures because it challenges you sometimes to look at the same thing with a different eye, and that is something we all need more of in our lives. I take pictures because I want to tell stories, my own, peoples’.
