Seabirds sweep along the Galápagos coastline as the Pacific swell breaks below. I used a slow shutter and intentional camera movement to translate the speed of the flight and the restless motion of the sea, keeping the feeling of the moment rather than freezing every detail.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
