I Found My Ikigai, It’s Photography. What’s Yours? | A Photography Book About Creativity & Purpose

I Found My Ikigai, It’s Photography. What’s Yours? is a photography-heavy book about creativity, purpose, ikigai, and returning to the things that make us feel most like ourselves.

Through original photography and short, conversational reflections, the book explores what it means to notice more, trust your creative voice, make changes, begin before you feel completely ready, and reconnect with something you may have pushed aside for years.

This is not a photography guide, and it is not only a photography coffee table book. Photography is the thread running through the book — the way I found my way back to creating, paying attention, and listening to myself again.

The pages combine photography, visual storytelling, travel, everyday moments, people, landscapes, light, color, and black-and-white images with writing about creativity, finding purpose, artistic identity, self-discovery, and the courage to create.

It is made for photographers, artists, designers, writers, creative professionals, and anyone trying to reconnect with their creative side or figure out what makes them feel alive.

Whether you are already creating or trying to find your way back to it, this book is an invitation to ask yourself one simple question:

I found my ikigai. What’s yours?
