Outdoor Adventure, Outdoor Life

In photography, as well as life, all subjects deserve respect whether it’s a person on the street, a bear in a meadow, a flower nestled in a tree, or a mountain on the horizon. It is important to respect your subject by getting to know it – the moods and light that bring out its best qualities. Show that respect in your photographs by creating images that celebrate your subject. And create photographs through your own humility. I think documentary photographer, Giles Duley, explained it best when he said, “… documentary photography has always come with great responsibility. Not just to tell the story honestly and with empathy, but also to make sure the right people hear it. When you photograph somebody in pain or discomfort, they trust you to make sure the images will act as their advocate.” As a nature and landscape photographer, I act as an advocate for the natural world – showing you the best the world has to offer and our very human role in that world. While I am out exploring, I follow the seven principles of Leave No Trace and the seven Nature First Photography principles.

I can publicize my awards and publications to you, but really all I want is for you to join me on my adventures – either through my images, my videos, or by my side.
