My work focuses on capturing the things around us that often go unnoticed in the rush of our day-to-day lives. I create visual records of the short lived parts of nature, capturing the intricate frost patterns or the delicate insect before it’s gone forever. I take photographs of insects out of a lifelong passion for entomology and the fascinatingly diverse world of insects. They are insignificant in our daily lives, but are inexorably intertwined with the function of the planet in their roles as pollinators and decomposers. They live for a month, a day, an hour and their existence is required for the continuation of the human race. Above all things that I photograph, from grand landscapes to the people around me, it is the insects that I love the most. They remind me that it is the smallest and most insignificant beings that can change the course of the entire world. 

  Even when I depart from my straight photographs of natural wonders, I still strive to maintain a feeling of importance and personality, even in my more surrealist and metaphorical work. Every being and object on the planet has an important role and significance and deserves to be shown with the same reverence given to more traditionally ‘important’ parts of life.
