Water is life, and we have been given but one ocean.
It is our duty to respect, manage, and be good stewards of our life-source because everything we do has a direct impact on our ocean's health and the marine life and wildlife that bring balance to our planet. For better or worse, the choices we make today impacts future generations.
Water, land, or air--all animals are welcome here. In fact, they welcomed us into their world first. An alliance among humans and animals has always been important but never more crucial than it is now. We are more alike than we are different. We are one spirit housed in different vessels. We are one race: the living race.
Capturing intimate portraits of earth's divine creatures from their perspective drives my wildlife photography.
My ambition is to create images that inspire others to get outdoors and connect with nature and the ocean. Only then can we truly see the beauty and life that makes our planet habitable. Getting to know our regions better helps us 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.

No animals are considered domestic or 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.
Respecting nature and natural habitats are my priority. My photos are taken from public, unrestricted areas. I keep a respectful working distance from my animal friends, allowing them to come to me, and I work as quickly as possible to ensure their lives are not disrupted.
All photographs accurately reflect the subject matter as it appeared. All images are original. I own the copyright to all images. All rights reserved.
The career my ego chose was interior design but my calling is that of photographer. While I still take on a few, private residential projects a year, the bulk of my time is spent playing in, on, or around the water, working in my element and learning from my true teachers: the animals, the ocean and the coastal environment.
