Raised on the island of Oahu since age five, I've had a lifelong connection with the ocean and its endless inspiration. My love of surfing began immediately after moving to the islands, sparking a fascination with the beauty and raw energy of the waves. Photography became my medium to share that fascination, a journey I embarked on eight years ago with the motto, "Capturing beauty and power through a lens."

 

Last winter, I visited Nazaré for the first time, and the giant waves and vibrant culture captured my heart. It truly felt like destiny—a place where my passion for photography and the ocean converged. Nazaré's  beauty and power now inspire my dreams of spending every winter documenting its incredible story.

 

Through my camera lens, I aim to capture moments of nature's force and grace, sharing the awe-inspiring narratives that define places like Nazaré and the lives of those connected to the sea.
