Macro / Insect Photography
2015-Present
Alongside my passion for automobiles is my passion for insects and insect photography. I hope to use my photos to show people the beauty and details in otherwise small and unnoticed creatures. While I do this primarily as a hobby, I’ve collaborated with groups like the Entomological Society of America as well as local parks and similar groups.
