His philosophy:Respect the animals, their habitat and the rights of the people who have also came to
enjoy them. Besides trying to make beautiful photographs, it’s important to me that each
photo tells a story. Through my photography I hope to help people become more aware of our wondrous natural world and how important it is
to present it.
