Interview Excerpt:
What made you pursue photography?
I was quite bad at painting!
What inspires you to pursue image-making?
The pursuit of image-making offers a path to a life enriched with unique personal experiences. For me, photography provides an ongoing opportunity to learn, connect with interesting individuals, and explore fascinating places near and far. Making pictures allows me to explore the world, work out how I feel about it, and find my place within it. Beyond personal experience, I hope to affect viewers - to capture someone else’s imagination and provide an escape from the everyday world—even if momentarily. I hope to create images that are a window to a whimsical place where anything is possible. And in that place of possibility might we collectively imagine a more compassionate and hopeful future for the natural world and its wondrous inhabitants?
