I love photography. Specifically, macro photography.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by nature itself. I can’t stage the bugs I take pictures of so I let nature show me what it wants me to see. Changing angles helps me see things from a different perspective.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take a vacation somewhere that I could focus on just being in nature and taking pictures. I’ve always wanted to visit the Galápagos Islands.
