I grew up in the suburbs of Georgia and loved to be outside more than anything else as a kid. I took an interest in wildlife from a young age, but it wasn't until college that I took the dive into the world of nature photography. I started out by taking close-ups of ants with my iPhone and showing them to friends and family. I loved to watch their reactions when they saw close-ups of the ant's eyes, or hair follicles - things that they hadn't ever seen before.
While my camera skills and equipment have much evolved since that time, the reason I love photography hasn't. My goal is to share stories that show people things they have never seen before - or could never see with their own eyes.
I continued to grow as a photographer during college, where I studied engineering. I soon discovered the world of camera trapping, and instantly fell in love with that as well. Using my engineering background, I built my own camera housings and treepods, and set up camera traps to get images of animals I might have never been able to photograph in the wild.
Today, I shoot almost exclusively on 35mm film. Using analog methods for wildlife photography has been a tremendous challenge, but the superior colors, dynamic range, and overall photographic experience is well worth it!
