Behind the Lens
My passion for photography began in high school, where I first discovered the joy of capturing moments through the lens of my father’s camera. As I traveled over the years, I made it a priority to document every journey, building a growing collection of memories and scenes from the places I visited. Photography was always there, a constant companion in my adventures.
The pandemic in 2020 became a turning point in my creative journey. With the world shut down, my culinary career slowed to a crawl. I made the decision to invest in myself and purchase proper gear, which opened up an entirely new world of possibilities. I found myself drawn to landscape and nature photography, spending countless hours outdoors practicing my craft and developing my artistic eye. What started as a personal passion quickly evolved into something more meaningful.
Today, I create art that resonates with others. My work has been featured in local newspapers and magazines, and I've had the incredible opportunity to sell some pieces to collectors who connect with my vision. Photography has transformed from a hobby into a fulfilling creative pursuit that allows me to share the beauty I see in the natural world, from the San Francisco Bay Area & beyond, with others.
