I'm a photographer, filmmaker, and National Geographic Explorer covering conservation in tropical rainforests.
On this channel, I take you behind the scenes of my field assignments—tracking wildlife, navigating remote forests, and meeting the people protecting these ecosystems.
If you enjoy nature, storytelling, and real-world adventure, you're in the right place.
📸 See more of my work on Instagram and on my website.
Cheers,
