I always say that everyone has a story worth sharing, it's just a matter of viewing something through the right lens. When it comes to photography and storytelling I pride myself on being able to capture the story in moments often overlooked. I still have much to learn but it's this idea that motivates me to grow as a photographer. I've always been fascinated by how the snap of a camera and a little bit of magic can freeze in time moments that otherwise fade away. It has become my passion to try and capture and immortalize these moments and images through photography.

The idea of travel photography in my mind takes this skill to another level, as the feeling of being somewhere exotic and somewhere you are not used to heightens all of your senses. Even the mundane or routine do not go unnoticed or taken for granted by the eyes of a keen outsider. This is why I have fallen in love with it. For me, every new destination I go to with a camera in my hands brings the excitement and feeling as if I'm setting up the shot and pushing capture for the first time all over again. I believe in following your passion, for me that means photography.
