• Artist Statement

  I was out in the middle of the desert at the coral pink sand dunes this past summer riding dune buggies and after getting out for a lunch break, I spotted a group of bikers making huge jumps over the peaks of the dunes. I knew I had a great photo opportunity in my hands so I took out my 24-70 2.8 and took this photo of one of the guys making a jump over one of the dunes. In the edit, I wanted emphasize the sand kicked up by the bike as it left the sand.

• Creative Statement

  It's an expression of what you are passionate in doing and what you love. Taking photos allows me to understand the world while also understanding myself and what I am passionate about. It allows me to capture the world in a single moment.
