Biography

Photographer of Wild Places & Unconventional People

At the core of my work is a passion for documenting unique individuals in the most stunning locations in the world.

This ethos has lead me to turn my lens toward endurance athletes, outdoor chefs, big wave surfers, backcountry hunters, deep-sea divers, dirtbag climbers, and a whole host of other characters with bellies full of fire and heads full of dreams.

After nearly a decade of creating imagery and making friends around the globe, I’ve found a simple formula for creating photo magic: Shoot real people experiencing real moments in A+ locations. Hire good, talented humans. Work hard, be kind, and feed the crew!

See you out there!
