I’m drawn to landscape photography, especially lakeshore sunsets. I like capturing light as it changes—those quiet moments where everything feels still but alive.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature and everyday moments most people pass by. The shoreline, changing light, and stillness at sunset remind me to slow down and really see what’s there.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest in better gear and travel to new locations to expand my work. I’d also print and share my photography more, so people can experience those moments the way I do.
