BYULOR?
If you've journeyed deep into my website, you may find yourself intrigued by the term "Byulor." No, it doesn't carry a conventional definition, but to me, it represents an extraordinary personal narrative and philosophy.
The seed of “Byulor” was planted back in 2008 when I sat captivated, watching the film “Slumdog Millionaire” on Blu-Ray. The ring of “Blu-Ray” ignited a spark within me, prompting the creation of my own, unique term, “Byulor.” This is more than just a word, it embodies a commitment to crafting work of distinctive character, exceptional quality, and significant purpose. It’s become a touchstone in my creative odyssey, influencing the name of my production company, “Byulor Films,” and following me across the globe when I migrated to the United States in 2013.
But let’s rewind. The origins of “Byulor” are rooted in a 15-year-old dreamer, clutching a ragged VHS camera, the word whispering an undefined promise in his heart. From then to now, “Byulor” has transformed, shaped by my experiences, my growth. It encapsulates my passion, my journey, my hard-earned skills, and the wealth of knowledge I’ve accrued.
“Byulor” is the relentless dedication infused into each of my projects, the exhilaration when clients’ faces light up at a glimpse of a well-captured shot. It’s the adrenaline surge as I tackle fresh challenges, coming prepared as though I’ve been there a thousand times before. It’s the exhilarating tremble in my hands and the acceleration of my heartbeat as I capture a million-dollar drone shot.
In essence, “Byulor” is why clients hire me; it’s the magnet that draws them to the fire in my eyes as we converse about their projects. The camera is my stage, my arena, and no matter the level of stress, behind the lens, I come alive. Continually pushing the envelope, never settling, always striving for more.
Once, I sought approval and applause from others, but today, I understand what truly matters: not disappointing that 15-year-old inside me. The one with the dream. Now, as a 27-year-old, I am confident that my younger self would be immensely proud. This realization is the essence of “Byulor.” It turns out, that’s what’s important.
