I am a Seattle-born, San Diego-based landscape and commercial photographer. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve always had an appreciation for nature, but my true passion lies in urban photography.

Q&A
What is your goal with your artwork?
My goal with photography is to inspire. My motivation comes from the amazing feedback I get. Not everyone has the same privilege or ability to travel, and I’m humbled to bring that to them.
Who/what are your biggest creative influences?
Andrew Optics has been the biggest influence on me since day one, and I’m grateful to have built a friendship with him. I also love Mindz Eye’s amazing compositional vision.
Do your current or past locations influence your artistic choices?
100%! I am definitely a product of my environment. I’ve seen my style get brighter since moving to Southern California.
What projects are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on some product videos for Slik Tripods and just finished up an interview on Car Trail Photography for Adobe. Next is to try and get back to international travel.
What other hobbies do you have?
When I’m not photographing I love road trips to photography locations, hiking to photography locations and meeting up with friends to do photography.
What brands represent your personal style?
Anything with minimal branding. I love LSKD, Open Edit, RVCA and Vans.
