Artist Statement

                                                                                                                                                                   
It is common for students my age to have a passion for film and wanting to become a Producer. With lots of years of studying, filming and connecting, it's what almost everyone know me as, a Producer. Behind every Producer there's another interest. There's a passion of mine that is hard to express through writing without being able to show it. Writing about it makes it difficult because I am not one to sit around and talk about myself. In reality I get the feeling of being enclosed when I must sit in front of a computer and talk about myself using words. I like to be free with space and time which is why I have a stronger relationship with the wilderness. The feeling of being free and being able to explore in many directions without being closed is what stops my brain from exploding. When I get to travel to different destination it's nice to learn about the nations culture but my interest goes straight to a kingdom, a place that is hard to explain the way it looks by just talking; it's something that must be taken and saved. A place where I know I would be able to capture my visions freely, no restrictions just distance, distance that will challenge my capacity to move left, right, up and down. Being a wildlife photographer has made me feel accomplished with my photography because I am able to focus, at the same time work as smart as the animals to be able to click my cameras button multiple times and "walla" have a photo. Through my work I would like people to feel inspired and strive to have the same passion so our work could relate. It's not more or so the connection between my camera and my self, nor the connection between my camera and the animals in front of it, it's the connection between the acknowledgment of being able to run free.
