Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

While landscape photography is at the heart of my work, I’m deeply passionate about all forms of photography especially those rooted in culture, expression, and bold storytelling. Whether I’m capturing the stillness of nature or the intensity of a moment driven by protest, identity, or purpose, I’m drawn to imagery that evokes emotion and meaning. My work exists at the intersection of serenity and strength; creating both quiet spaces for reflection and powerful visuals that demand to be felt.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in contrast in the stillness of the natural world and the raw energy of human expression. Nature grounds me, offering moments of peace, clarity, and perspective, while culturally driven spaces; movements, communities, and voices; ignite a sense of urgency and purpose in my work. I’m inspired by both silence and sound, by solitude and collective energy, and by the stories that exist within both.

What would you do with $25,000?

With $25,000, I would elevate my work from passion to impact. I would travel to capture diverse and remote landscapes, invest in high-level equipment to refine my craft, and produce a curated body of work for exhibition and publication. Most importantly, I would use it to amplify my voice sharing images that offer calm, perspective, and emotional escape… Reaching audiences who need that sense of grounding now more than ever.
