I’ve been taking photography seriously since I was 15. My Dad was my mentor and not only taught me how to see light through a camera and compose shots in my mind, but has also instilled in me a sense of adventure. That foundation has led me around the world, seeking to express the feel of my surroundings through pictures. It’s always been important to me to capture an authentic moment in time or to express the magic of being in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Dad always taught me that the secret to great photography was “F8 – Be there,” to be in the right place at the right time to capture that perfect moment.
