Nature photography has helped me become more aware of my values. I keep these values in focus by regularly exploring nature with my camera. ​

​Yes. It’s absolutely possible to make great images using your camera on automatic and pointing the lens at nature’s stunning beauty. To tell your story through images, though, takes self-awareness, thoughtfulness, an understanding of the way your camera sees, and an ability to navigate manual settings - even on a cell phone. ​

I’ve found that by taking on the challenges of making meaningful images with a camera, I've also been presented with ample opportunities to become more aware of my surroundings, which has slowly changed the way I see the world.

Being thoughtful, understanding, and capable in making images has transformed not only my photographs, but also my life. ​
