About Me -

I am a conservation photographer specializing in great apes. The journeys that I’ve taken to document this planets precious cargo and those who risk their lives to guard and protect it has been immensely rewarding and at times heartbreaking. It has allowed me to see that no matter where we live, where we come from, we all share something in common.

It is my hope that through my photos you will also find some commonalities in the people and animals that I photograph. I hope that my photographs will inspire you to explore, listen, learn and protect these treasures for generations to come.
