Upon first arrival in Geneva, Switzerland I went for a walk and happened across an overpass above a railroad junction near the main train station. I instantly decided to experiment with a new tilt-shift lens to create images with a miniature effect.

While I am incredibly fond of traditional nature and landscape photography I take great pleasure in escaping the confines of the genre to apply my creative interpretation to a scene.

I recently had a great time leading a client on a private wild flower photography workshop and was blown away by the beauty of the very green hills of the San Francisco bay area.
