PHOTOGRAPHER ARTIST STATEMENT

Using creative composition and beautiful natural light, my photography is bright, colorful, detail-oriented, and expresses true emotions.

Visual storytelling has been my greatest passion since childhood when I first picked up a camera. I fell in love with life behind the lens and strengthened my skills by building my own pinhole camera, practicing the art of composition with 35mm film, and developing prints in the darkroom.

Each of my photographs is an intimate portrayal of my travels, and a chance to suspend a scene that touched me in some way. Whether it’s a magnificent landscape or the smile of a stranger, I aim to capture what makes the destination unique in our world.

Having chased sunsets and photographed throughout North and Central America, Europe, and East Africa, I am continually inspired to broaden my perspective by stepping outside my comfort zone. I’ve seen natural and man-made wonders, tried new foods, learned from people of other cultures, and observed spectacular wildlife. This thirst for adventure, knowledge, and understanding is why I take photographs. It’s also why I share them.
