Landscape

Sometimes while traveling, I feel like an astronaut that has been transported to a planet far far away. This typically happens when I’ve arrived in front of a landscape that is so foreign to me that both my brain and eyes can’t seem to fathom that what I am seeing could possibly be on earth. It’s a feeling that I chase every place I visit. Here are some of my favorite landscape shots that allow me to remember those awe inspiring moments.

PEOPLE

We spend so much time in a bubble; its limits set by the city we live in and the country we call home, that it is easy to lose track of the realities that others face around the globe. It is only once you spend time with those people, in their surroundings, that you begin to understand that a “normal” life is quite different from country to country. The photographs I take of people always lead me to reflect on what my life could look like had I been born elsewhere. They help me see both the beauty and hardships that others face, and in many cases have forced me to come to terms with the immense privilege I have coming from Canada and being able to afford to travel.

Animals

I would be lying if I said that I didn’t gravitate more towards animals than people when doing travel photography. I return to a state of childlike wonder when coming up close to an animal that I never imagined I would have the chance to see in the wild. Hard to find; harder to photograph properly. The challenge of capturing these wild creatures is both infuriating and incredibly rewarding when successful.
