Backcountry photography requires careful planning, the right gear, and the flexibility to adapt to nature’s unpredictability. Whether you’re chasing alpine sunrises, star-filled night skies, or rugged landscapes, my guide walks you through the essential steps—choosing the right location, researching conditions, packing lightweight gear, and preparing for the trail.
Over the years I’ve offered lab-made prints that look great, but I always felt there was something missing by not making my own. That’s why I’ve decided to take the process into my own hands and create prints directly in my home studio. My new handcrafted prints are more than just artwork; they’ve been created from start to finish as reflection of my dedication to quality and the beauty of nature.
This past year took me from Colorado’s familiar mountain trails to remote deserts and the wild expanses of the Yukon and Alaska. I encountered meteorites, discovered dinosaur bones, and captured moments like auroras lighting up the night sky. Read on for a detailed look at my travels and discoveries

It's hard to predict what that will ultimately happen but if the current weather continues it might not be the best year for autumn colors but it won't be the worst either; some places will be phenomenal while others lackluster. We're currently behind the normal timetable for change but maybe by a week at most.
