“Wild Stillness : the act of bringing stillness to the soul without removing the wildness of the heart.’”

I am a wildlife and nature photographer based in Chattanooga TN. Through my work I paint with light using atmospheric elements such as dispersed lighting, mist, fog, etc. to create more than an image but rather a portrayal of the sense of wonder and oneness we share with the natural world. Working within moments that cannot be controlled or repeated my practice begins in stillness, in learning to receive rather than chase.

Each image is a fleeting encounter, a moment that will never exist again. Through this work, I hope to offer a sense of pause - an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to reconnect with the quiet wild presence within and around each of us.
