Throughout my life, I have grown up watching, admiring and loving the beauty of nature. But I have also watched it change as we poison our planet with CO2, pollute our oceans with trash. This is why I am a photographer. My photography is about sharing the beauty of our only planet, both nature and the creatures that inhabit it. I want people to experience the joy I felt in that moment with Mother Nature when they gaze at my images. In a time where change is so crucial to our survival, we also need to see the contrast between a healthily, beautiful natural environment versus the damage and destruction humans have done to it. My images give people the opportunity to see places they have never been to, animals they have never see, and now learn about those places, there issues and find out what they can do to help. Photography is such a powerful medium. The stunning images of Ansel Adams are my inspiration to be a photographer because how impactful his work was in preserving nature.
