As an avid nature and abstract photographer, my journey behind the lens has been deeply influenced by my passion for the natural world and my early interest in studying biology. Introduced to photography by my college biology professor, I found a medium that merged scientific curiosity with creative expression. My love affair with photography began with capturing the mesmerizing beauty of water, likely sparked by college trips to the Florida Keys to study marine biology. Water has always been my muse, inspiring exploration of its myriad forms and textures. Particularly captivating to me is capturing reflections on the water's surface, where light dances, creating ethereal images. Traveling has shaped my style profoundly, offering canvases for capturing grand landscapes and intimate scenes. Beyond nature, I'm drawn to stories whispered by old buildings and textures of weathered objects. Rusty patinas and vibrant urban street art inspire me to capture resilience, decay, and beauty. Recently, my passion for biology led me into wildlife photography. Immersing in animal habitats fuels my connection with untamed beauty. Documenting wildlife moments, particularly in Africa's vast plains, holds a special allure. While I'm not confined to any one genre, diversity in subjects and styles fuels my creative spirit. From tranquil waters to vibrant blooms, abstract forms to untamed wilderness, my photography celebrates life's rich tapestry.
