Statement

The photos I take draw inspiration from my life and the experiences I have obtained from different adventures. I want to capture these experiences for people to go back and look at and relive the intense feelings they had during the act.

When photographing commercially I still try to tell a story to communicate the brand image to the consumer and capture the core aspect that makes each product and company special. Focusing on what type of person a product is trying to reach and catering my photography to sell to that person.
