My passion for travel started from an impulsive decision to quit my job, buy a jeep, and drive down to Los Angeles from Canada for a month when I was 18. I fell in love with the idea of being free to explore without timeline. After I finished my degree in Psychology, I felt like I needed another impulsive trip. I missed that feeling of being free. I traveled around Europe for 2.5 months and started photographing landscapes with only a GoPro. It became more and more addictive to travel and capture these amazing moments in my life. I upgraded to Sony Alpha and left on another six-month trip around the world. Now I travel on and off multiples times throughout the year. I am currently at 56 countries and counting. My goal is to hit 100.
Over the last couples years photography has been a huge part of my life, as well as my identity. A passion has turned into a job, however that job doesn’t feel like work. Each day I’m editing something new whether its a landscape photo, wedding video, portraits, or animals. I use photography to express myself. With every photo I edit I always strive to be as creative and unique as possible; I always want people to feel that “wow” feeling when they see my photos.
"I want people to feel drawn by the photo so that they have an immediate urge to travel to that specific destination and experience it for themselves."
For me, photography and travel became one. I had a desire to travel because I had a desire to photograph the world. While traveling the world I experienced different cultures, gained knowledge, and changed my way of thinking. It made me discover myself and what I truly love doing. It has led me to doors which I don’t think I would have opened without the influence of photography.
"My main goal is to continue to experience life to the fullest. To keep opening doors. Always."
