About
Infinara. It's based on infinite narratives. Everyone feels something different when they view art. Every single person goes through different things in life and they resonate with art just as uniquely. So I don't caption my photos. That meaning is yours, not mine.
I started Infinara in 2023 as something bigger than a photography project. It was meant to be a culture, a space where artists of all kinds could collaborate and feed off each other. Street photography became my main expression within it, not by design, but because of how my life is structured. Always moving, always with a camera. It became my way of showing up for it.
Malé city is my main subject. Not as a postcard. As a living thing, chaotic, dense, constantly moving. My photographs are an attempt to slow that down. To find the stillness that exists inside the noise. Light and shadow do most of the work. I let them. My style has shifted over time, from something cinematic to something I would describe as more painterly now. Stronger shapes. Color doing more of the work. Fewer moments, more feelings.
My work has evolved into making art as if the internet never existed. My photos are not meant for social media. It's a great medium to share work with the world, but I never saw it as the final destination. My photos are meant to be printed. Felt physically in your hands. Seen in different lightings. You have to slow down to look at them and that slowing down is the point.
Projects come to life by consuming all sorts of art. Music especially. Art makes me feel things that are hard to describe. Then I go and shoot with everything I am feeling. Sometimes projects come to life within weeks. Sometimes months. Sometimes years. But I never force it. I know it will come naturally.
Outside of photography, Infinara has always been about returning something to the city. In 2024 I started the Polaroid project, leaving prints of my photographs in the places where they were taken, letting anyone find them and keep them. In 2025 it became postcards. Each year the format changes but the idea stays the same. The city gives me the photographs. I give something back.
Over the years, Infinara has grown into something I did not fully plan. Collaborations with artists and creatives across Malé. Conversations that started because of a photograph. People who picked up a camera because of something they saw. That has meant as much to me as the work itself.
