Read More“After feeling lost for a few years without any real direction I’d finally discovered something that I really wanted to pursue, something that I felt I’d be good at.”
Read More“I want to help shed light in any way to restore these fragile ecosystems through photography campaigns and educate people on the latest news and the things we can do to maintain these animals for the future.”
Read More“It’s much more about dedication, consistency, being willing to “put yourself out there” and work really hard over a long period of time. A lot of hustle! You cannot learn these things in school. But school can make it easier if already have the willingness to hustle.”
Read More“To be in nature, the very thing that my business couldn’t run without, is the greatest thing of all. Immersing myself and respecting the natural world.”
Read More“Always keep improving. I think photographers or creatives should never stop learning. There is nothing worse than not improving on your craft and staying where you are as such, no matter how professional you are or how many years you’ve been working.”
