"PPA has been essential for protecting my gear while traveling around the world. I became a photographer as a healthy way to escape depression, which is how I started photographing nature on my hiking adventures. I’m inspired deeply by National Geographic Documentaries and Professional Photographer magazine for its features showcasing different photography styles."
