Inc. Magazine: Fall Story
For the August Issue feature for Inc. Magazine, I spent the day with Highland Hair Products in Denver Colorado.
Guna Yala: Panama
I spent a week on a small island in Guna Yala, off the Caribbean coast of Panama. The islands are small—narrow strips of sand and coral pushed up from the sea, some no more than a few hundred steps across. Villages sit tight on them, houses close, everything within reach of the water. I’ve spent time in a lot of remote places, but this felt distinct. Not untouched, but self-contained. Intentional. The Guna have held onto this way of living for generations, and have fought off the growing tourism industry of the rest of Panama, and you feel that in every interaction, every movement through the day.
We stayed in tents set up directly on one of the islands with ViaVenture Central America, a guiding outfit that works closely with the local communities. It’s really the only way to gain access in a way that feels right. There’s no luxury infrastructure here, no resorts or built environments designed for comfort. Just a few tents, the sound of the ocean, and a rhythm you fall into quickly. Days consisted of breakfast provided by the sea, activities such as hiking, snorkeling, sailing on traditional boats, and experiencing local traditions. Diner was always a fresh catch.
What stayed with me most was the sense of community. The women sewing molas in the shade, hands moving constantly. Fishing boats coming and going. Kids moving between houses, between islands. Meals shared without much ceremony. It’s a place built on proximity and dependence, where everything feels connected. It’s adventure, but not loud or performative. It’s quieter than that. More human.
Yolo Journal: Spring Feature
For the Spring Issue of Yolo Journal, I photographed a and wrote about my many travels in Guatemala and the surrounding area. I don’t write stories too often and this was a chance to tell intimate tails about the communities that I have spent a lot of time with. Honored to have had the privilege.
Salewa Spring/Summer 26
I photographed the Spring/Summer collection from Salewa. A high end adventure and sports line based in Italy. For the shoot, we spent a few days in the high country of the Rocky Mountains, working in a mix of hiking and exploring.
Country Living Magazine: Spring Feature
for the Spring Issue of Country Living Magazine, i photographed the wonderful Kilty Ranch in remote Wyoming. It was a joy getting to mix interiors and ranch lifestyle in to a story.
The Belize Collection
In early winter, I spent two weeks in Belize working on new photo and video content for the luxury hotel and lodge company The Belize Collection. The shoot was a fun mix of adventure, food, and luxury. Right up my alley. In order to accomodate the variety of shooting scenarios through the day, we utilized an efficient light and camera set up.
5280 Magazine: Billy Barr
I spent a quiet day with Billy Barr up in Gothic for the January issue of 5280 Magazine. This was my second time photographing him, but the first time with almost no snow on the ground. Standing beside someone who has spent decades carefully measuring winter by hand, the absence was impossible to ignore. I could sense the unease in his demeanor as he constantly noted the lack of snow.
Billy Barr is the “Hermit” of Gothic, Colorado, and has lived as a relative recluse for nearly 50 years. Billy’s work, done quietly and without agenda, has become one of the most important long-term climate records in the Rockies. What started as curiosity turned into data that scientists now rely on to understand how this landscape is changing. With Billy nearing retirement, and winter itself feeling less certain, the day felt like a pause in a long story, a reminder of how much knowledge can come from simply paying attention, year after year, to one place.
EXP Journeys
For two weeks this fall, I spent time with the luxury guiding outfit EXP Journeys, on trips and excursions to the Desert Southwest and the Oregon Coast. The trips were a mix of everything I love to photograph: adventure, food, luxury accommodations, and outstanding landscapes.
Fire Lives Here: Documentary
On August 1st, Fire Lives Here, a short documentary I directed and filmed will debut on PBS.
Over the past two years, I’ve been immersed in one of the most meaningful projects of my career as a director: Fire Lives Here. Spanning an entire calendar year in Colorado’s Front Range, Fire Lives Here reveals how fire is not just a seasonal threat, but a natural and necessary force—one that, when understood and managed properly, can protect the forests we love from even greater destruction.
Filming this story meant going deep into the field alongside firefighters, land stewards, and scientists as they worked to restore resilience to our forests. It meant enduring bitter-cold mornings to capture prescribed burns, riding alongside fire crews into smoke-filled hillsides, and documenting the tense, unpredictable moments of major wildfires. Few shoots have tested my resolve and respect for my subjects like this one did—bearing witness to the bravery of those who fight fires and the quiet dedication of those who prepare the land to withstand them.
At its core, Fire Lives Here is a story of hope and ingenuity. It explores the USDA Forest Service’s innovative “ribbon strategy,” where crews thin and limb trees, build and burn slash piles, and create strategic firebreaks designed to slow wildfires and restore natural fire cycles. Through sweat, science, and a willingness to see fire differently, these efforts are making a tangible impact. As a filmmaker, my goal was to bring audiences as close as possible to both the urgency and the possibility.
This project embodies what I strive to do in every story I tell: make the unseen visible, and honor the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to protect the places we all cherish, which includes our public lands.
