About Me

At the heart of it, I am an adventurer, an explorer, and a dreamer. I have been fascinated by the splendor of nature, sunrises, sunsets, and the night sky since I was seven years old. Having made the transition from casual photographer to a serious one just a few years ago, I am fortunate to be currently mentored by National Geographic photographer Colby Brown and professional photographer Pedro Kin. Their continued guidance and coaching has enabled me to push my creative boundaries in search of visual storytelling excellence through the lens.

To me, absolutely nothing compares to that moment when you are standing alone in pitch blackness, illuminated only by the light of a billion distant suns, when suddenly all of life’s problems seem so insignificant, and you realize that our purpose is to appreciate and to preserve this pale blue dot on which we live, so that future generations can continue to marvel in awe at the wonders revealed by the daily ritual of sunrise, sunset, and the night sky.

As much as I enjoy sharing these natural wonders with you, I hope that my art also inspires you to go out, look up, and find these amazing beauties with your own eyes. We spend so much time looking at glowing screens on our desks and in our hands. The most amazing phenomena are all out there waiting for us, and they're all free. So go outside tonight, lie down on the grass with a blanket, and just look up at the stars.
