Why Vancouver Island inspires
Vancouver Island holds a special place in my heart, with its wild landscapes, dramatic coastlines, and the sheer power of the ocean creating an unparalleled sense of connection and awe. I’ll never forget a crisp November morning on Long Beach in Tofino, watching the sunrise dance on the horizon—a single frame that tells a story beyond words.
This island is also a land of deep cultural and historical significance. As the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Kwakwaka’wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Coast Salish peoples, its beauty is intertwined with a rich heritage. I am honored to work on this land, striving to create images that respect and preserve its spirit while celebrating its timeless allure.
