Milestones & Mentions
Welcome to my humble corner of recognition and storytelling! This page isn’t just a boasting collection of features in news articles, journals, and magazines—it’s a glimpse into the countless hours I have spent & will spend travelling thousands of miles, various places, countries, waiting in the wild to capture the perfect shot of an animal or bird, the weeks of patience observing their behavior, and the years of dedication to capturing something as rare as a comet, eclipse or an aurora. It’s about learning, growing, and connecting with incredible people. Whether you’re here as a part of my journey or just a curious stalker of my work (LOL...no judgment :D), I am so grateful you are sharing these moments with me. Thank you for being here—it means the world.
