Profile:

My photography career did not start with photography. It started with the river. In 2017 I was stuck in a boring and routine daily grind. I was not active much in the outdoors, despite a strong love for it. I decided to try something new, and bought a cheap paddleboard. I loved being out on the water and exploring new sections of river. It was not long before I discovered that whitewater paddleboarding was actually a thing. I was instantly hooked, immediately trading in my original board for a Hala Atcha, one of the premiere whitewater boards on the market. Running whitewater on paddleboard is an exhilerating experience, and I wanted to capture my new adventures with photos and videos. Years later, I not only have an expanded river quiver, I have a new passion that perfectly complements my love for the river and the outdoors in general.

It all began here, on the river.
