I Combine My Love Of Travel And Water To Photograph The Act Of Surfing

November 13th, 2019November 13, 20190 1188

The finest moments in my life are light dependent. Though I’m wholly present, in these moments I’m slack jawed and staring at a beautiful beam of sunlight. It’s often not until the glow dims or sun shifts that I realize I was awestruck by a radiance of beautiful light.

I can’t say exactly where my love of beautiful sights came from, or when I fully realized them, but I do know they are what I crave. Since slipping into the water on a mission to learn how to surf, my eyes have been hungry to find beauty among light, shadows and water. Photography as an art, a career and meditation have thrust me into a life of creativity. I live and breathe pretty visuals and extraordinary moments. I am eagerly intrigued by new cultures and learning from the experience of others.

I hope to be able to show viewers how amazing the world we live in. I aim to inspire those who think they “can’t” and encourage them to be brave and to “do”. I don’t want my work to inspire people to dream, I want them to be inspired to feel and act. Water is the most euphoric element. It refills my inspiration bucket like nothing else I’ve experienced. These images are proof that the sun’s light is amazing, and our planet’s oceans are beautiful.
