I grew up with a strong aptitude for the visual arts, manifested through drawing, and later photography. Graduating university with a combined degree in fine arts, molecular biology, and classics, I continued professional study as an architect. Through my travels and experiences photographing architecture, my passion for visual story telling first began.

Much later, as a counterweight to my obsession with architecture, I took up diving and underwater photography. Drawing breath from a cylinder while trying to follow sharks in a limited field of vision does focus the mind on the moment. The underwater world offers so many opportunities for emotive and interpretive story telling through photography.

Whether crafting a building or a photograph, I seek to tell the most compelling story possible. Like a sketch, these creations leave room for the viewer's, the participant's personal interpretation, to bring themselves into this story.

My involvement in the creation of man made environments has nurtured this sense of wonder, appreciation, and sacredness about natural environments, and the need to tell their stories. More than ever, these places depend on us for maintenance and preservation.
