What does photography mean to you?

Life lit up!

For me, the goal of taking photographs is to encapsulate the current mood and environment in a single still image. This can be extremely challenging and it’s what keeps me inspired and motivated to take photos.

Typically speaking, my favourite type is landscape photography. My photos are able to trigger a cascade of memories from my travel experience. I also have a great appreciation of beautiful things and believe life’s memories should be made to look special in their own unique way.

Where do you take your Camera?

I love to travel off the beaten track and enjoy discovering the untravelled path.

This can range from deserted beaches to remote mountain hikes and abandoned buildings.

"Adventure is the way I chase that stoked feeling, I often feel whilst I’m doing my other passion, surfing."

What is your camera to you?

My camera is a means to document and capture the amazing visuals I encounter. It seems such a waste to rely purely on memories which words often cannot describe.

I live a special life that takes me to a wide variety of countries and photography is my tool to share these often breathtaking experiences. My camera releases the ingrained sense of adventure within me.

Some of my favourite places to photograph have been Italy, Northern Spain, Canada, Jordan and New Zealand.
