Summer in the Appalachians
I spent a few months teaching myself the fundamentals by reading several books at the school library and watching countless online videos (these days, you really can learn anything if you know where to look). I started practicing with an old camera that I had been gifted a few years prior. I brought it with me everywhere, but I especially enjoyed taking it to the mountains and working on different compositional techniques to bring out the beauty of nature.
Currently, I work as a third-year emergency medicine resident physician. When I'm not treating patients in the ER, I'm outside climbing mountains in pursuit of the best light that I can find. My passion is capturing and preserving perfect moments in nature to share with others. I love using my photography to connect people with the beauty of the natural world and to inspire others to appreciate the outdoors as I do.

Series featuring the beauty of the Southern Appalachians during summer.about the photographer
I picked up photography in 2014, during my senior year of undergrad only months before starting medical school, and it was truly life changing. It was like discovering something had been missing in my life that I hadn't yet identified. I had no idea at the time that I would soon be falling head-over-heels in love with the art and science of landscape photography.I spent a few months teaching myself the fundamentals by reading several books at the school library and watching countless online videos (these days, you really can learn anything if you know where to look).
