Travel photography is a powerful art form, one of which I am proud to be a part of. A strong image makes a difference, tells a story, whether that be of strife, luxury, hardship or pure enjoyment.

I strive to take strong images that depict a country for its peoples, diverse landscapes and unique stories. I truly believe that images like these can educate people in the ways of the world, diversify their minds and inspire them to explore the world for themselves. This is important because only then can the human race gain a true respect for and an emotional investment in their neighbours.

World news tends to depict stories of war, corruption and the like. This then often paints negative pictures of some of the most beautiful places in the world. It is easy to get disheartened by all of the negativity in this world, by everything you disagree with and by everyone you are unable to personally aid. Travel photography captures the essence of a place and its native peoples in a light that inspires positivity and change.

I wish to travel the world and capture images that make ignorance impossible, change someones mind and give the beautiful things and people of this world a voice.
