Jungle Branch
Chasing light through adventure, curiosity, love stories, creations, and more. Photography has always been a form of therapy for me, and something I’ve mainly allowed my heart to guide me on. I explore this medium through forced variety, seeking ways to weave stories and capture this planets magic, woes, and wonder.
I love documenting stories in ways that makes viewers feel like they’re in that moment just as much as I love creating images that make viewers try to make sense of what they are seeing.

Part of my mission through this craft is building bridges between different audiences to help close the gaps between humans and our severed connection with nature, with hope that my work might inspire positive change and action to protect Earth.
While my primary focus has been environmental topics meant to educate and raise awareness on global issues and the grassroots movements trying to tackle them, I photograph stories of all kinds. When I’m not using my camera to create client work, it comes with me to wander in creeks and streams and trails. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m likely enjoying a coffee and community around town.
