“I am dedicated to capturing moments that spark action without words and convey emotions that may be otherwise foreign to the viewer. This work requires an intensive approach to challenges. ‘Never walk past a problem you can solve,’ was my father’s credo, and it is this stride that carries me through all my pursuits.”
