My travels have given me the opportunity to observe marine life worldwide, from photographing the Ningaloo Reef to documenting whales in French Polynesia and sharks in the Maldives. Being in the water with thriving marine life gives me hope, as I witness the resilience and beauty of the ocean's inhabitants. My favorite subjects to photograph are probably elasmobranchs and whales due to the special interactions they offer. Capturing the grace of a manta ray or the presence of a humpback whale highlights the importance of conserving these remarkable species for future generations.
