A wonderful off shoot of our work is continuing to support the humanitarian aid organizations that provide health and community development in the places that we have documented over the years. Through our photography we are able to give back!

Our Life work

      he foundation of my skills were developed as a photojournalist on the road assisting and working alongside some of the most talented photographers and filmmakers you've never heard of in the most random corners of the world. I earned my stripes as a frontline photographer living out of my travel pack and camera bag amid the high paced settings of crowded cities and dry deserts.
I learned the parallels that strengthen my work today... the deep connections between people, the impact of light, the power of place and the richness of legacy. I continually find beauty and intrigue in making images that convey the range of emotions that bind people together. It is the human experience that draws me - imagery that contains emotive story and wonder. If there is anything that years and years of work have taught me is that there is palpable power in a photograph. To anticipate what is to come in order to forever document what will quickly pass has been for me a continual adventure and work of my lifetime.

I earned my stripes as a frontline photographer living out of my travel pack and camera bag amid the high paced settings of crowded cities, dry deserts and wet jungles. There was nothing glamourous about those days but in their richness and grit I learned the parallels that strengthen my work today... the deep connections between people, the impact of light, the power of place and the richness of legacy. If there is anything that years of professional documentary work have taught me is that there is palpable power in a photograph.  To anticipate what is to come in order to forever document what will quickly pass has been for me a continual adventure and work of my lifetime.
