Photography, Conservation & Travel make me tick!

There is a world out there. A world waiting to be explored and discovered. There is an adventure out there. An adventure to be lived and experienced. There are stories out there. Stories to be told and shared. And there are unforgettable moments out there. I call them 'Moments without boundaries'. Those are the times I feel completely alive.

As a conservation biologist my passion is to contribute to conserving the world's last remaining wild places and the species and communities that depend on them. I have travelled much of the globe already but there is a burning desire within me that longs to see more. Through my images I hope to inspire people to live their lives without fear. Not all my pictures are meant to be beautiful, that is not the world we live in. I believe its important that I show our world as it is, bursting with beauty and riddled with pain at the same time. That is our world. We are all part of it.

We all have but a single life and I long to document what lies beyond the next valley, on top of the next summit and deep within our humanity. This trip will help me mature - so take me along.
