My favorite type of art to create is photography that radically shifts perception. In nature, I frame conventionally uninteresting scenes to captivate viewers with the perfect, natural splendor they tend to forget or ignore. For portraits, I reject traditional models for authentic, unposed individuals. My deepest hope is that when a subject sees their image, it permanently dismantles their self-doubt, proving they possess a true, undeniable brilliance even when they feel they do not.

I find profound inspiration in the natural beauty of the world. Through my photography, I want to compel people to slow down and witness the absolute perfection of God's creation, which they are often too busy to notice. I apply this exact same purpose to my human subjects. By capturing them authentically, I aim to shatter their deep-rooted insecurities, using my lens to reveal the true, inherent beauty they possess but have tragically forgotten under the weight of self-doubt.

A few thousand would upgrade my equipment to capture the world’s unseen beauty. The rest is dedicated entirely to my family. Following my co-parent's unilateral decision to geographically relocate, I am navigating a civil family court battle to bridge an immense distance from my 8-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. This capital provides the vital resources to overcome these legal hurdles and fiercely protect our unbreakable bond.
