Photographer Spotlight

“Throughout my life, I’ve been lucky enough to live through so many wonderful moments in so many beautiful places; especially those when the world makes me feel small. Yet I’ve always really struggled with how to fully experience these times and more so, how to immerse myself in remembering and reliving these experiences. I’ve taken a lot of approaches to being more intentional about experiences, and I’ve found the one that brings me the most full feeling is photography. Photography is about storytelling. It’s about capturing all the feelings of a moment in a single frame. It’s about taking the moments when the world makes me feel small and making art from that feeling. I hope to share these times I’ve spent in the wonders of the outdoors through my pictures.”
