Some say ‘Wandering Wiz’

I’m a landscape photographer and photography tour guide based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I learned to shoot in the Blue Ridge Mountains, chasing sunrises, fog, and storms across the ridgelines. More recently I’ve been guiding photography tours in Yellowstone, and now I’m taking these experiences anywhere: national parks, remote landscapes, and the places on your bucket list.

I believe the best photos come from slowing down and actually being present in nature. That’s what every trip I lead is built around.
