Fine Art Prints
To truly appreciate the colors and details of a stunning photograph, nothing compares to a fine art print. Prints not only provide a means to display a photograph at a much larger scale, they also allow for the photograph to be printed in an expanded color space beyond the sRGB of the Web. The result is a piece of art that fully captures the details, colors, and beauty of the scene as I experienced it. For any questions regarding prints, please send me a message me, and I will get back to you shortly. Prints are typically delivered within 2-3 weeks of ordering.

Ice coats rounded granite boulders along the rugged coast of Maine on a frigid evening in February. The night before was the coldest weather my Dad and I have ever camped in, with temperatures dipping close to -20 degrees Fahrenheit! Braving the winter weather has several advantages, though, including practically zero crowds and interesting photo-ops. Acadia National Park, Maine. Prints Available.

About Me
There is no place that I feel more alive, more connected to what is important, than the wilderness. Whether an icy mountain summit, a misty forest, or a rocky coastline, the wild places of the world feel like home to me. While my love for the outdoors precedes my passion for photography, I now could not imagine having one without the other. Add a car to the equation, and the result for me is the feeling of absolute freedom, where the possibilities are limited only by my imagination and willpower. The roots of my passion for photography took hold while I was in college, and the memories of messing around with my first point-and-shoot camera are as strong as if those moments happened but last week. Back then I knew next to nothing about photography, but the thrill of exploring wild, lonely lands and trying to capture the beauty of the landscape and the emotions that it stirred up in me made me feel alive like never before. Since those early days of escaping campus at Syracuse University to go explore the nearby Morgan Hill State Forest, photography has taken me on a journey that my 20 year old self could have only dreamed of. From exploring the wild coast of Washington’s Olympic National Park with my best friends, to countless trips and treasured moments with my dad, to a year-long solo road-trip odyssey through the American West and British Columbia after finishing my PhD in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins, to camping in the Adirondacks with my wife and dog, exploring and photographing wilderness has been the driving force of my life. Each time I press the shutter and capture a singular moment in the wilds, something is awakened in me and I unequivocally realize that there is nothing else that I’d rather be doing. I hope that as you view my photography you’ll feel the same sense of awe and wonder that the wilderness instills

Intense sunset light illuminates the snowy mountains on a cold winter day. Light like this is incredibly fleeting, but witnessing the snowy landscape come to life while on a deserted summit makes the time and effort required to experience and photograph these special moments oh so worth it. Adirondack Mountains, New York. Prints Available.
