ARTIST STATEMENT

As a documentary and conservation photographer, I'm expanding climate-justice work in the U.S. and continuing to illustrate new and fascinating visual stories in the upper Amazon basin.

Graduate studies and extensive fieldwork in Ecuador and the U.S. Northern Plains have led me on wonderful paths of acculturation and learning in rural communities that seek justice for Earth, Sky and Water.

I am proud to maintain formal working relationships with Indigenous communities, scientists, government agencies and NGO's in the upper Amazon basin. I’m skilled at working in remote settings and embedding with multi-agency conservation teams (wildlife officials, police, airport and intelligence services) to make important images.

With my Indigenous Lowland Kichwa friend and long-time guide Fausto, we've begun educational photo tours in Amazonian Ecuador.

Wherever I work, I strive to give back to my host communities while creating a diversity of images that interpret ecological significance and promote the local, cultural and generational values of a place.
