Before I ever truly felt compelled to pick up a camera, I had little interest in photography. But after years of struggling as a scientist to communicate the plight of our oceans and lands, I found myself reaching for a tool that could bridge the gap between people and the heartbeat of our planet. Being a photographer is about making the invisible seen and the voiceless heard. The images we create have the power to reveal and translate truths that words often fail to express. Through the lens, we give shape to emotions, amplify untold stories, and invite others to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be—filled with meaning, depth, and connection.
