On May 5th, after a 40-hour bus journey, my hard case with essential photography and teaching gear was stolen at the station. This equipment wasn’t just for shoots — it was the foundation of my creative and educational work. I’m raising funds to replace stolen items including lighting kits, modifiers, lenses, and educational tools I use for my masterclasses and courses.Thank you for being part of this recovery!
