Travel photographer, not a tourist.
Coming out of a creative rut and a bordem of photography, the trip reignited
my passion for creating images, giving me the opportunity to photograph
some vastly different places, and experiment with my approach to the images.
Taking a bad photo here was pretty difficult, but taking unique photos to
the thousand other tourists that had the same view and access to me was
the challenge. I believe as an environmental photographer, that is one of the
main challenges aside from finding locations. The key separation between a
photographer’s image and a tourist’s image is the composition. Most tourists
cram as much as they can in their photo or just point straight at the subject. I
try to think creatively with my composition and think about how the viewer
will flow across the image between elements. This is why you’ll find a lot of
diagonal lines in my images with heavy biases to one side of an image.
