entry description
While traveling down the Amazon River in Brazil, I befriended a young girl named Julia. She is a part of the Tukano/Desana indigenous tribe that lives along the Rio Negro. As I was leaving I stumbled upon this moment of pure childhood imagination. In this instance, Julia embodied every child that's slipped into another beautiful world during play.about the photographer
I am 25 years old and am blessed to travel the world for work as a professional figure skater. Travel has opened my eyes to immense differences in the way people live around the globe, but I have also found that humanity never changes. The human condition is the thread that binds us together and I find great beauty in exploring moments that touch upon our humanity. As I grow older, I hope to continue to explore the world and always notice the beauty that surrounds us.back to gallery
