On a foggy morning, a group of ducks glides through calm water, surrounded by tree trunks shrouded in a soft, mysterious haze. I came across the scene while walking quietly along the shoreline, drawn in by the stillness before the day began. The reflections of the fog-laden trees in the tranquil surface added an extra layer of beauty to the moment, and I waited for the ducks to settle into the frame before pressing the shutter.

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.
