something about me
Photographing nature and landscapes from around the world to capture fleeting moments in time is my creative outlet and diversion from everyday life. I like to capture the beauty of nature may it be in grand vistas or small, intimate scenes.
I enjoy spending time in nature while strolling through well known places close to home as well as exploring unknown areas. Quite often while on a family excursion I stumble across a beautiful scene, that I then later revisit with my camera when the conditions are right.
