I am skier, climber, mountaineer & photographer, and medical school student currently based in Milan, IT.
I'm exploring the convergence of physicality, medicine, and art, and capturing human effort and emotion in the beautiful and brutal mountainous outdoors; the moments of solace in the storm, the fear and exhaustion during the climb, the nervous anxiety and primal fear before commiting to a route, and the pure euphoria of success of a line well sent. Stories about powerful places and powerful people.
