Visual story-telling is a powerful tool for conserving our wildlife. I am passionate about achieving results in conservation through my photography, filmmaking, writing, research and program development.
I grew up in dusty Arizona, chasing lizards and dreaming about tropical rainforests. I used to say I wanted to be a ‘Rainforestologist’ and made my first ‘film’ about protecting the rainforests of the world in 7th grade.
I spent much of my school years in the darkroom, where my passion for the ‘science of light’ evolved. This is also where my focus on wildlife conservation began to develop, as much of my photography work was meant to honor fascinating elements of the natural world. Although my professional photography was mostly art-based after graduating with a degree in photography from Lewis & Clark College, in Portland, Oregon, my interest in wildlife science was still present. Eventually this interest grew into an undeniable desire to utilize the power of photography as a tool to bring urgent awareness to environmental conservation issues.
I have worked with numerous conservation-oriented organizations over the past eight year, many in Borneo, and after producing my first documentary about sun bear conservation, in Sabah, Borneo, I am now directing a film series in West Kalimantan which will illustrate the work of planetary health initiatives in this area.
