I’m an amateur photographer who found light through the lens during a dark chapter. After an injury left me unable to work or surf — my life long passion — I turned to photography as a way to stay creative, grounded, and mentally active. What began as a distraction quickly became a deep love. I’m drawn to capturing raw moments, quiet beauty, and the emotion that lives in everyday scenes, especially in black and white. Photography has given me purpose, perspective, and a new way to connect with the world.
