Questions & Answers
My most transformative travel experience
One of my most memorable experiences was a 20-day photography expedition in Northern Norway, where I spent time on whale-watching vessels documenting the incredible behaviours of orcas and humpback whales in the Norwegian Sea, just before the polar night set in. The beauty of the landscape and the whales' behaviours made it an unforgettable adventure.
My exploration inspiration
One person that truly inspires me is Felicity Aston, the first woman to cross Antarctica on foot alone. Her determination and resilience in such extreme conditions resonate deeply with me, reminding me of the strength required to push boundaries and tackle the unknown in both exploration and photography.
My dream adventure
While I have many dream destinations, Antarctica is at the top of my list.
