Puerto Rico was one of those trips where you just walk around with your camera and let the island show you what to shoot. The colors, the architecture, the coastline, it all had this energy that’s hard to find anywhere else. Every time I travel somewhere new, I come back with fresh ideas for sessions back home. Different light, different textures, different vibes. It all finds its way into the work eventually.

First time in Hawaii and it did not disappoint. Spent most of the trip between the ocean and the trails. The Manoa Falls hike was incredible, lush green everything with a waterfall at the end that made the whole trek worth it. This was honestly one of the trips that got me thinking about water and photography differently. Seeing how light moves through waves and waterfalls planted a seed. I didn’t know it at the time, but this is probably where underwater photography started for me.

Photos from a trip to Las Vegas. The strip at night is its own kind of photography playground, neon everywhere, constant movement, light sources you’d never get anywhere else. This was early in my photography days, just pointing a camera at anything that looked interesting. Looking back, you can see where the interest in dramatic lighting started.
