CALIFORNIA

This is where it all began. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco in 2013, I knew this was someplace special—and I was instantly hooked. What started as a spark turned into a decade of exploring and photographing the state from top to bottom.

Here’s a selection of images taken in some of my favorite CA locations. From 2013-23, I drove tens of thousands of miles and spent countless hours exploring nearly every nook and cranny of the state’s unbelievable wealth of natural wonders.

Prominent settings include Yosemite, Death Valley, and Joshua Tree National Parks, Malibu, Big Sur, and various backcountry locations deep in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Pound for pound, it doesn’t get much better than California when it comes to diverse and breathtaking outdoor scenery.
