Nature calls to me in my work. As a photographer who is studying sustainability, I am fascinated by the intricacies of complex ecosystems. In this work, I investigate wetlands, which play an important role in the fight against climate change. There is so much essential life within these ecosystems; adventuring through them allowed me to find my focus. I gravitate to the wetland’s plants, ferns, birds and insects. After spending much time discovering the intricacies within wetlands I was able to capture details of wetlands in unique ways. By using inspiration like that from the chiaroscuro lighting of Renaissance painting I was able to light my subjects to emphasize the drama that wetlands wildlife can create. My art expresses my passion for climate change activism, promoting a greater understanding of the world around us, while also appreciating the local environment we are lucky to have
