I'm a self-confessed romantic, driven to document the beauty and poetry I see everywhere I go. I am also a traveler and the urge to roam and my love for photography are happy companions.

A reformed corporate world entrepreneur I now spend my days pursuing and documenting stories that matter; preserving my own version of history (with a small 'h') for the curious few who follow.

I shoot with a Canon 5d mark ll & 28mm lens. I work light, weighed down by nothing but my camera strapped to my wrist and the occasional inhibition.

For reasons I think I'm beginning to understand, I am drawn to moments of solitude.

I've had the honor of learning from some of the world's most inspiring and generous photographers and I count my blessings every day to have discovered my passion so early in life. Some never do.

CURRENT PROJECT: LEFT BEHIND

My immediate focus is on my long term project "Left Behind" which tells the stories of suicide survivors - those who are left behind when somebody they love dies by suicide. Having lost my own father to suicide, this project matters.
