A photojournalistic outdoor series documenting people, presence, and experience wherever the landscape leads.
Spirit of the Moment is a photojournalistic photographic series documenting people and place through lived experience outdoors.
At its core, the work asks a simple question:
What happens when we slow down long enough to notice where we are?
The series is not confined to trails, summits, or any single form of adventure. It unfolds wherever the outdoors allows for movement, presence, and honest experience—whether that’s deep in the backcountry, in remote terrain, or in the quiet spaces between destinations. The emphasis is not on where we arrive, but on how we move through the world to get there.
The photographs are made without staging or direction. They are created in real time, shaped by weather, terrain, and human interaction. The camera operates as a witness, documenting moments as they reveal themselves rather than attempting to manufacture them.
Each feature follows individuals at different stages of their journey, photographed in motion and in place. Not defined by achievement or location, but by awareness, effort, and becoming.
The outdoors is not used as an escape in this work. It is a setting where perspective sharpens and truths surface quietly. Landscapes are not backdrops—they are active participants in the story.
Spirit of the Moment lives in the space between stillness and movement, ambition and grounding, exploration and reflection.
It is less concerned with destinations and more attentive to what unfolds along the way.
This is not a series about where we end up. It is about what we notice while getting there.
