“My photography isn’t about seeking out specific destinations to shoot; it’s about capturing my connection to the places I adventure and sharing that with others. High elevation peaks bring me a sense of serenity, awe, and transcendence that I hope my photos convey better than words ever could. They capture meaningful moments from my journey, and I would love to share a piece of that experience with you, hoping they inspire you to deepen your connection with nature.”

Nature First is built on a set of core principles that help communicate how each of us can enjoy nature photography responsibly. The Nature First Principles were developed to help educate and guide both professional and recreational photographers in sustainable, minimal impact practices that will help preserve nature’s beautiful locations.

  1. Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.
  2. Educate yourself about the places you photograph.
  3. Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.
  4. Use discretion if sharing locations.
  5. Know and follow rules and regulations.
  6. Always follow Leave No Trace principles and strive to leave places better than you found them.
  7. Actively promote and educate others about these principles
