What started as a casual high school photography hobby has evolved into a profession that spans 40+ international publications and reaches 5+ million viewers globally. Based in the Bay Area, my photography has found its way into major outlets including MSN, AOL, and specialized publications like Drift Travel and Animals Around the Globe.
My journey gained significant momentum when I was nominated for the prestigious 2024 Unsplash Awards in the Rising Stars category, recognizing outstanding contribution to the global photography community. This recognition highlighted not just individual achievement, but the impact that authentic, story-driven photography can have across diverse media landscapes.
Through stock photography platforms like Pexels and Unsplash, my work has transcended traditional boundaries, appearing in contexts from environmental journalism to travel guides, from wildlife conservation stories to urban culture features. Each image carries the dual purpose of artistic expression and editorial utility—creating visual narratives that serve both creative and commercial storytelling needs.
What sets my work apart is its versatility and authenticity. Whether capturing the raw beauty of California's national parks for travel publications or documenting urban wildlife for environmental stories, I focus on creating images that work seamlessly across multiple editorial contexts while maintaining their artistic integrity and emotional impact.
