My passion for photography really grew from my love of animals and the nature around me. When i was young i always wanted to be a vet and eventually decided this path wasn't right for me. Through this journey different events made me really focus on the world around me and enjoy the moments you have .
My fondest photography memory was when i went on a Safari trip with my Grandad when i was 16. I had a small digital camera with a digital zoom which i merrily snapped away thousands of images. It wasn't until i returned home I realised the photos left a lot to be desired. This really did fuel my passion to pursue and capture better images because "what if" I never get to see it again. Luckily the memories of the safari are etched into my memory (and some blurry digital copies on my hard drive). I look back now thinking "I wish i'd have had my DSLR and Telephoto lens back then" which really motivates me to capture what i see there in the moment because sometimes you wont always get a second chance. My loved ones have always been there to support me through this journey and i can honestly say i couldn't have better fans!

Although my main focus is wildlife photography i do enjoy venturing out taking landscape shots especially waterfalls and astrophotography. These trips are made more enjoyable by sharing them with those close to me. To date i have only photographed a friends wedding but i do hope to capture more of these moments later in my journey.
I really do hope you enjoy the images i have captured. If you have any questions, feedback or want to work on a project with me please don't be a stranger!
