Water is Life. It is imperative that we are good stewards of our planet every step of the way; from the products we purchase, to the foods we consume, to what and how often we buy, and how we dispose of them. As consumers, we have the power to create real change. For better or worse, the choices we make today will have lasting impacts.
Water, land, or air--all animals are welcome here. In fact, they welcomed us into their world first! An alliance among human and animal beings is crucial. We are more alike than we are different; we are one spirit; points of light housed in different vessels. We are one race. Animal welfare and protections drives my wildlife photography.
My ambition is to capture images that inspire people to see, truly see, the beauty and life that is always surrounding them. If we get to know our regions better, then we're better able to genuinely connect to create change on a global scale. Together we can heal this living, breathing, life-sustaining planet we call home.
Humans were granted dominion, not domination, over Earth and its living beings.
Will I leave the planet better than I found it? That is my goal.

Respecting nature and natural habitats are my priority. My photos are taken from public, unrestricted areas. I keep a respectful working distance from the animals, I allow the animals to come to me, and I work as quickly as possible to ensure their lives are not disrupted.
All animals in my images are considered wild and in their natural habitat. No animals are considered domestic, captive, photographed in zoos, aquariums, private or commercial game farms, subject to harassment, baited, stalked, tricked, trapped, tracked, called, tagged, monitored, or harmed in any way.
All photographs accurately reflect the subject matter as it appeared. All images are original. I own the copyright to all images. All rights reserved.
My photographic journey began in 2022. I'm technically self-taught but the animals and the ocean environment are my real teachers.
