About
Welcome to my website! I am a photographer from New Hampshire focused primarily on creating landscape and wildlife images. I offer my nature photography for print and licensing sales, and have been published many times, including in Outdoor Photographer, Backpacker Magazine, Boston Magazine, and Forest Notes, as well other applications such as posters and music album cover art. I am also a writer and have published articles in Outdoor Photographer and Forest Notes. I have had two photos place in the top 100 of the 2022 Audubon Photography Awards.
The goal of my nature photography is to communicate the intricate beauty of God's creation in nature and call the viewer to realize they are part of something much larger than they may realize on a day-to-day basis. There is beauty in the tiniest detail right where you live if you only look for it; you don’t need to travel to the far ends of the earth to connect with the source of it all. I have been seriously shooting since 2011, primarily in Northern New England but also all around the United States.
Photography started as way to document what I was experiencing in nature during thousands of miles in the backcountry. Now it has become a way of seeing and living that leads me to moment where my imagination, understanding of the natural world, and external factors I can't control come together to be one at the same moment in time. Way leads upon way, and my photographic pursuits bring me to new understandings and insights. This is what I love most about nature photography!
Keep your eyes and heart open.
