Part of being a photographer is embracing community. With the digital world constantly increasing our connection and access to the work of photographers globally, it can be easy to neglect the local community that surrounds us. This page is intended to highlight some of the other photographers in my area that constantly inspire me to grow and develop my work. In addition to their incredible talent, they are all wonderful individuals and I hope this page encourages you to check out their work and show them some love.
