Inspiration

Growing up I distinctly remember Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid and Born Free being two of my favorite movies. I must have watched them each dozens of times. They certainly shaped my idea of an "interesting life" and were probably the inspiration for me leaving a 9-5 after graduating college and working as a tour guide before finding myself working with big cats in film & television and eventually the circus. 

Photography became a hobby early on in my life, but eventually I started working with a photographer who encouraged me to pursue it as a career. It's been both a challenging and rewarding path ever since and it's offered me a truly unique and refreshing lifestyle that has allowed me to see some amazing places and live some truly unique experiences. 

Techniques

One thing I love to do is play with different angles and perspectives.

When I look at a scene or capture an activity I look at what would be the normal go-to shots, the ones everyone takes, and then I modify from there. I really like to move around to see what other angles tell or highlight an aspect of the story.

Whether its laying in the middle of the road as two riders pass on either side or harnessing up to capture some climbers I enjoy doing whatever I can to get a shot that captures the essence of the moment and freeze it in time.
