Deer and ungulates: I venture into forests and fields, seeking to capture their grace and power. Photographing their diverse forms, from white-tailed deer to elk, is a constant pursuit. I explore their habitats, documenting their social behaviors and seasonal changes. Their role as grazers and their interactions with predators fascinate me. I aim to portray their vital place in the landscape.
