Travel Photography
Context
Travel is a beautiful thing. Exploring the world is both a privilege and a choice, and every trip is a chance to meet new people, experience different cultures and get a little lost along the way. Stepping outside your comfort zone is where growth happens, and for a creative it’s also where the eye gets sharper. This collection is a running record of those adventures, from the Rocky Mountains to the Italian countryside, the beaches of Bali to the streets of Paris.
Approach
I shoot travel the same way I approach brand work: looking for what’s authentic about a place, not what’s on the postcard. That means early mornings, side streets, local faces and the quiet moments between the landmarks. The collection spans 16 destinations across four continents, from Paris, Venice, Florence, Siena and Rome to Bali, Cabo, the British Virgin Islands, El Salvador and Africa, with closer-to-home stops in Crested Butte, Palm Springs, Austin and the Carolina coast. It includes documentary work in El Salvador alongside sailing and adventure trips. Each set is edited to show a place’s light, texture and people. The common thread is curiosity, and a belief that the best creative ideas usually start somewhere you’ve never been.
