Not every client is the right client.

The key to a successful photoshoot is making sure the client and the photographer are a good match. While many photographers will happily take any client they can get, I am more selective about who I work with. Portrait and travel photography has changed over the past decade due to the rise of social media and influencer culture.

There has been a surge in the demand for me to assist with creating content rather than documenting life’s special moments or taking a simple portrait. I take great pride in documenting the authenticity of people, their families, and special events. What I love most is capturing organic moments rather than curated ones that have been planned or rehearsed. This is why you won’t find me on any social media platforms personally or professionally. I have no desire to scroll endlessly through staged content, and I do not want to use my talent to create an illusion of a life that someone isn’t actually living. If curated or staged portraits are what you prefer, I would recommend seeking a different photographer.

I also will not work with any groups or organizations within the travel industry engaging in unethical animal tourism or the mistreatment and explotation of the local/native people to create a “cultural” experience for foreigners. Thank you for your understanding.
