My photography is a reflection of a lifetime spent in the mountains. Through adventure, exploration, and moments that have shaped my own journey. I hope to share the awe, serenity, and connection to nature that continue to inspire me, and encourage others to explore, learn, and build their own connection with the outdoors.

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
