Resume
Landscape and Fine Art Photographer, and Dedicated Instructor
For me, photography is more than just a pastime; it's an unrelenting pursuit. It's not about leisurely strolls but a fiery passion that consumes me. At my core, I am a naturalist and conservationist, driven by a deep connection to the environment.
