Traveling is my love and photography is my passion, so when combined they create opportunities for amazing moments. My challenge is to capture these moments with my camera, to harness these memories into a photographic form. In this portfolio, I present to you the moments in which I have captured these split seconds in time. My goal is to use my camera as a teaching tool, to show people these places that I have had the privilege to witness. While I base my photographing technique on documentary photography, I still incorporate my fine art skills to create images that will stand apart from the rest.
