I create art to connect with nature. It’s my passion to capture images of the natural world and share its wealth of beauty with others.

I focus on fine art landscape photography. I’m drawn to quiet, remote places, especially along the coast, where the light and atmosphere feel unpredictable. I like images that feel real but also a little otherworldly, like a moment you almost missed.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly just being out in nature. Hiking, exploring, waiting for light to change. A lot of it comes from slowing down and paying attention. I’m also inspired by work that feels emotional and atmospheric rather than overly technical.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d put it straight back into the work. Travel to more remote locations, spend more time shooting without rushing, and print a new body of work at a larger scale. I’d also use part of it to support projects that highlight the importance of protecting these places.
