He started his career as a traditional landscape photographer, but over the last 15 years has transitioned to become an inspirational photographer and enthusiastic instructor.He describes this transition as an epiphany and a life changing event and attributes his time in the Gobi desert to being the catalyst.

Finding your passion is key, He states creativity is difficult to teach - rather it is not predicable, but an exciting adventure!Interestingly, he talks about the challenges of balancing creativity with running a business.
