| The images within these portfolios are some of the commissions and fine art assignments I have created over the last decade. During this time I have come to realize the natural world is wonderfully invaluable to our planet. As a photographer I aim to capture the essence of my subject, the colour, texture, and pattern thereby enhancing my sense of connection. I describe my images as made in the camera. My dream assignments are to explore the world with my camera having fun and exciting adventures along the way. Enjoy!
