2025 – Nature Wildlife
In the Indian Himalayas I climbed snowy 14,000ft. mountain tops and traversed rough terrain in search of the elusive Snow Leopard. Due to their camouflage they are very hard to spot and are often too far away to photograph, even shooting at 800mm. Many photographers return home without a single glimpse. Luck was on my side, as this Snow Leopard had made a kill the night before. I waited from 9:30am until 4:30pm for it to emerge and the sighting was over within an hour. The Leopard only seemed to emerge, after two wolves stole part of its kill. With only a few bounds down the mountain, the Leopard was once again guarding its food from any would be scavengers. These scavengers included the local magpies, as the Leopard would chase off any that got too close, and I simply waited for another to swoop in to capture them interacting. It took a little bit of patience, but even more luck to capture this moment in time.

World Top 10 - 10th Place
I have been playing soccer since I was four years old, and I have always wanted to combine my passion for the game with my love of photography. I needed a new pair of cleats, and I wanted to photograph them before I wore them on the pitch, so I captured this image. To showcase different elements of the shoe, I applied a few unique Photoshop techniques in Post, resulting in this spliced effect.
2021 – Portrait
This photo came to be as an exploration of life’s major milestones, and how these changes are approached by other cultures. Every piece of jewellery that this Maasai woman is wearing tells a story about her life and these stories are totally unique to herself. She has a piece of jewellery for every stage of her life and she wears those experiences proudly.

This image is of the cube houses, located in Rotterdam. These houses are one of the most iconic attractions in the city, so I wanted to find a new angle to photograph them that perhaps hadn’t been done before and show off their interesting structure. In order to capture this perspective, I found myself wandering into the courtyard between the houses and pointing my camera towards the sky. The bright yellow colour of the houses and the repeating pattern of the windows creates visual interest, which makes it easy to get immersed into their distinctive charm.
2018 - Nature
Everything seemed to come together for this image and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I was originally trying to photograph a pack of Wild Dogs, when my Safari group happened upon this pair of courting Giraffes. Luck was definitely on my side; I had two great subjects to photograph, the sun was setting low over the horizon, creating deep oranges in the sky, and a small flock of birds took flight from the trees just as I was pressing the shutter. The thing I love most about this image, is it reminds me to stop and appreciate the world around me and that sometimes the best moments in life are spontaneous.
