I love all aspect of making an image, though when I became fascinated with birds, things escalated quickly. All the gear. All the best ways to capture them. And when photo wasn’t enough, I started leaning hard into video. Video brought a new dimension to my work and encourages people to see something that they haven’t seen before. The bird and the situation inform how the story is told, versus simply shooting a bird in a specific visual style.
I applied this way of thinking from my experience navigating the design world. When I’m not behind the camera, I am a Creative Director and Designer, specializing in developing multifaceted experiences for brands, big and small.
