Nature photography for me is a way to raise awareness of the world around us. First of all about the value of nature. By showing people the diversity, beauty (sometimes in all its ugliness), complexity and how dependant we are on all that, I hope to make people more aware of that value. Secondly, I aim to make people aware of the human role in nature and the influence of our species on the natural system of which we really are still part.
A raised awareness will lead to a more sustainable future for the natural world, including for ourselves. If my work contributes to that even a little, I am a happy man!
Currently I am working on a freelance solo project called "Project Canada", raising awareness of the natural values of the Canadian Rocky Mountains (www.project-canada.com).
