"Im hoping people get the sense of awe that I have when Im in the water. I hope they feel transformed, and inspired to love the ocean,"
"Photography is isolating, so I tend to try and find bodies of work that are actually an extension of how Im living, so whether its walking on the beach or in the ocean or swimming — its a way of exploring what that means to me and why Im attracted to it,"
"I love that moment of immersion where someone jumps in and they bring that air into the water. Its a really visceral feeling of immersion; going into another place and another world,"
"Throughout my career, the water has featured as a muse and illustrates the different connections I have with the ocean and how it may have mirrored my own psychology at a particular time,"
