Ready for a story?
The best parts of growing up happened outside. Between camping, hiking, sports, and scouts, if it involved the outdoors, I was excited! Even when indoors, I’d glue myself to the Travel and History Channels to pretend that was me scaling Patagonian peaks or exploring ancient Rome. I didn’t realize it then but that’s how my travel cravings began.
In 2009 just after high school graduation, my friends and I took a road trip through ten national parks. The entire trip was captured on a tiny Olympus Stylus. That’s when I knew I had to travel as much as possible while photographing it all. However, that mindset warmed the bench between the years of college and a demanding career. Weekend trips happened, but for a kid dreaming of Nat Geo assignments, growing up to work in a cubicle was a bummer. Then I bought a Sony a6000 in 2015. I already aimed to visit every national park, but now I had to photograph them as well. I began traveling further and longer. Photography became a reason to explore further on every trip. In August of 2023 I upgraded to a Sony A7IV and began world traveling with my girl friend, Chandni Patel. We are now traveling across the world for at least the next year!
I travel and shoot because every city, town, person, and park is unique. That makes anything and everything my photography subject. I don’t shoot to only share my story. I shoot hoping to entice you to go discover a story of your own. So if you are ready for a story, please visit my portfolio galleries where you’ll find my portfolios and my current travel.
