My journey into the natural world is guided by two parallel paths: the rigorous inquiry of a professional geologist and the intuitive eye of a nature photographer. Where others see a static mountain range, I see the fluid transition of Deep Time—the slow dance of glacial erosion and the patient layering of history.
My eye is trained to look past the surface of the stone. Where most see stagnant layers of rock, I see the living world as it once was: the shift of ancient sediments, the animals that lived and died within them, and the relentless processes that transformed a vibrant landscape into the strata we see today. This perspective transforms my photography from a simple record into what Guy Tal calls “More Than a Rock.”
My methodology is rooted in a disciplined wandering; I avoid rigid shot lists in favor of an open curiosity that allows the landscape to reveal its own stories. This same philosophy extends to the digital darkroom. My approach, ‘Editing with Intent,’ is not about fabrication, but about restoration. Using tools like the TK9 plugin and DxO PhotoLab, I meticulously recover the dimensionality and vibrancy that the human eye perceives, but the camera sensor often misses. Whether I am sculpting the light of a deep forest or the glow of a misty sunrise, my goal is to ensure each image is as much a study of nature’s history as it is a work of art.
