This book is a collection of test shots from self-portrait sessions spanning over ten years, between 2014 and 2024. These images were never intended as final works; instead, they served a practical purpose —  testing lighting, focus, aperture, shutter speed, angle, and composition. They are the first, often unnoticed steps in the process of creating a photograph. In bringing these images together, subtle details begin to tell the story of these ten years — the places I lived, the shifting motivations behind my work, and the gradual transformation of both my body and my gaze.
