Welcome!
The following works are image collections I’m particularly proud of that may be relevant visual inspiration for this project.
Over the course of several months I reported on the state of the Colorado River system for a series in the Deseret News. I travelled from the headwaters in Colorado to the delta in Mexico and many stops in between. The project involved a myriad of landscapes, portraits, and documentary coverage of the people & places at stake in a drying West. Featured above are, clockwise from top left, Christine Rock in the Navajo Nation, the Grand Canyon, Gustavo & Adriana in a water-scarce neighborhood of Tijuana, and Manuel Machado Gerardo, a life-long farmer in the Mexicali Valley, Mexico. This project was technically complex, balancing subject and staff schedules, locating relevant sources in diverse communities, and involved challenging travel that included boating into the depths of Glen Canyon to security-challenged areas of Mexico.
A series of images featuring Indigenous land defenders, activists and local ranchers opposing a giant lithium mine in Nevada. Published in Deseret Magazine, Atmos & Inside Climate News. For this story I had to work with a diverse slate of subjects between the highly conservative local community, far-left environmental activists, and Indigenous groups who were occupying legally complicated ground to block the mining company.
Nurbu Sherpa at the Shree Pema Chholing Ghyang Basic School in Ghat, Nepal. From a Deseret Magazine story I pitched, wrote and photographed that required almost a month and 100+ miles of hiking at high altitude through Nepal.
Coverage for The New York Times of three climbers and their epic climbing accomplishment on Jannu Peak in Nepal.
Jake Harvath, who rode his horse across the country and back to raise awareness for the plight of wild horses.
Joseline, a Haitian refugee who fled to the Dominican Republic.
Frank De Palma, for a story on the horrors of solitary confinement in American prisons.
Chef Nick Zocco for The Food Network.

This commercial shoot for Force of Nature Meats involved five locations in three days with a large crew and complex client review team.
I traveled to northwestern Colombia where migrants begin their journey through the perilous Darién Gap for a story featuring a collection of Catholic priests and nuns who render aid where governments and NGOs fall short.
