When the water came.
Hurricane Sandy didn’t just shift landscapes, it sharpened my focus In witnessing raw human resilience, I learned to see the heart of a story. That experience reframed how I wanted to show up as a photographer: not just to document devastation, but to illuminate beauty, because we protect what we care about and those we love. Read below the stories that shaped this journey and other stories both personal and published.

Voices Beneath the Canopy.
This series is a journey into the world of ancient old growth forests — places where thousand-year-old giants hold the stories of our planet in their rings. Through months of research and travel, I’ve met the extraordinary people who stand as their guardians: scientists tracing the forest’s hidden networks, Indigenous leaders carrying ancestral knowledge, and everyday citizens who refuse to let these living cathedrals fall. Together, they form an unshakable chorus of voices, bound by a shared belief — that protecting these forests is not just an environmental cause, but a fight for the future we all depend on.
