Photography is my favorite form of art. It lets me capture fleeting moments, raw emotion, and the quiet beauty in the world around me.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere; in the in between moments, shifting light, quiet landscapes, human emotion, and the overlooked details that most people pass by without a second glance.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I’d upgrade my gear then disappear into the kind of places that don’t fit into a neat caption. Chasing light at sunrise, wandering until something stops me in my tracks, and documenting the moments that feel too real to recreate later.
