From my early years in the darkroom to photographing a cover for Travel + Leisure, my photography has always been a search for the right light. Since turning professional in 2007, I’ve used my background in film and fashion editorials to help travelers navigate the nuances of gear and composition. I’ve spent years documenting the world’s most interesting destinations—from motorbiking 6,000km through Vietnam to photographing the fragile ecosystems off the sea ice high in the Canadian Arctic. Having owned and tested systems from every major manufacturer, including Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Pentax, I now focus on helping travelers find the perfect tools to capture their own stories without being weighed down by their gear.
