BEHIND THE LENS.
THE BEGINNING.
Like all good stories mine must start at the beginning. I am a huntsman, an adventure seeker and story teller. I have long been fascinated by the natural world, wildlife and photography. Exploring deep in the wilderness, carrying everything I need to survive on my back is where I feel completely alive. I constantly dream of visiting uncharted locations in this world, embarking on journeys to places that most are yet to encounter, seeking the thrill of experiencing new and exciting expeditions and telling the story upon my return. The yearning to seek adventure and roam wild places lives within me, Its deeply routed within my soul.
I am intrigued by the way in which a single photograph has the power to capture micro-seconds in time. A moment that can never be captured again. How by staring at that photograph it can evoke emotions and memories flood back to that very moment years later. Not only does photography fuel my creative and adventurous spirit it is also a way of capturing and conveying a story I am deeply passionate about. Hunting. Hunting conservation and wildlife management is a global task in which we as hunters play a pivotal role. Imagery and modern day media platforms have incredible power to influence opinion, making it even more vital for future generations to understand its importance. The tradition of hunting, sustainable hunting practices, conservation efforts and thus the role we play in the balance of the ecosystem have always been important to me. I wanted to contribute in some way to its story telling. Photography only seemed like the natural progression.
MY MISSION.
In photography, just like hunting I am constantly pushing myself, continuously looking for opportunities to better my technique, my experience and by extension new ways to document the journey of the hunt. I am driven by the notion that there is always an opportunity to experience something enriching and life changing while out hunting in the wilderness, which not only brings us closer to nature but also to our ancestors. My mission is simple to capture the raw authenticity of hunting and deliver photographs that tell the true story of hunting for generations to come.
