Artist Statement
I am a nature and wildlife photographer on a continual journey to document the beauty of fragile ecosystems – whether it is in our coral reefs or in the polar regions. In the world’s extreme environments, the effects of climate change are most strongly felt. My job as a visual storyteller is not simply to lament the loss of these fragile ecosystems but to encourage a spirit of exploration and foster a sense of shared responsibility in the fight against climate change.
My artistry revolves around finding unique compositions to showcase familiar subjects. I strive to capture those brief moments of dramatic light or unique animal behaviors that place viewers right into the scene. When I’m in the field, I make images, not simply take pictures. I do this by envisioning a shot, planning for the light and action of my subject. All of my work depicts natural scenes and animal interactions that are true to nature.
