My wife and I have traveled to many places together.
One day, while looking back through our old travel photos, I suddenly realized something.
Why were almost all the photos of us together either selfies taken on a phone, or awkward pictures taken by a stranger?
Whenever we traveled, I always tried to take beautiful photos of my wife. I paid attention to the light, the background, and the little moments when she looked most natural and happy.
But my wife isn’t very comfortable with a camera.
And honestly, I didn’t mind if there were fewer good photos of me.
What I really missed was having beautiful photos of us together.
Of course, we could always ask someone passing by to take a picture. But that person just happened to be there. They didn’t know which moments mattered to us, how we wanted to remember the trip, or how to make us look and feel natural in front of the camera. We also had no idea whether they were good at taking photos at all.
That made me think:
What if someone could photograph our trip with the same care I put into photographing my wife?
Not just posed pictures in front of famous landmarks, but the way we walked together, looked at each other, laughed, talked, and simply enjoyed being there.
Not just proof that we visited a place, but a real memory of how it felt to be there together.
And this isn’t only about couples.
When you travel with your parents or your family, someone is usually standing behind the camera. And if everyone wants to be in the photo, you often have to ask a stranger to take it.
But on a trip that matters to you, why should anyone have to be missing from the frame?
Come into the frame together. I’ll take care of the rest.
I’ll stay just outside the moment, capturing the way you look at each other, the way you walk together, the laughter, the quiet moments, and everything in between.
Because one day, you’ll look back on these photos.
And I want them to bring you back not only to the place you visited, but to the people you were with and the way that moment felt.
That is why I created Momentik.
