Sometimes life puts you into situations you never imagined were possible, which helps uncover sides of your personality you never knew existed. One day, I suddenly found myself facing a heartbreak I could have never predicted. Things changed faster than I could process and I just couldn’t understand why they were happening to me. What was I doing wrong? How could I make it right? I had no idea. My heart was broken beyond repair, and I got buried deep in an emotional mess.
I needed answers, I needed perspective, I needed peace. Suddenly, my photography became my outlet, an emotion of its own. I would find myself seeking inner peace on the beach every morning before the crack of dawn. Indulging in the natural beauty that engulfed me like a comforting cuddle, I would emerge myself into the beautiful pre-dawn deep blue color of the world in front of me – and that’s how Deep Blue was born. It started as a feeling, an emotion, a true inner connection.
While I struggled with severe depression due to lost love, I found myself falling in love again – this time with the ocean and nature in general. Like a beautiful dawn where blue chases away the black of the night, I started to find the emotional peace that I so deeply craved. My photography became my saving grace, and I started healing – one day, one photo at a time.
I posted my photos online and began receiving praise for my work. I am basically an appliance installer, but soon, my talent in photography got me unexpected recognition as a photographer.
I was delighted to see that people enjoyed the emotions I was trying to express through my photography. Before I knew it, they were asking me to buy my pictures, and I couldn’t be happier! That’s when I thought of creating a platform that would allow budding photographers and artists to showcase their talent and market their imagination. So I named it Deep Blue in honor of how I defeated depression and emerged from a very dark place. I hope to inspire other people through my work and my platform, and can’t wait to explore the possibilities it offers.
When you see too much darkness around you, it’s a sign that you have to be the light.
Thank you for reading my story, and I am glad you’re here!”
