Kinkakuji, or
The Golden
Pavilion as it
is commonly
known, was a
shot I just had
to get while in
Kyoto and was
a shot worth
waiting for

Where else is on your wish list, and why?
I have many places on my wish list, but the
one that takes priority over the rest is Italy. I
want to be able to capture the beautiful canals
of Venice, the rolling hills of Tuscany and the
crowded streets of Florence and Milan. The
locations are rich with culture, full of history,
and I would love to have the opportunity to
capture it all to the best of my abilities and
inspire others to visit. There are just so many
stories waiting to be told, and I hope that one
day I will be able to tell them through my lens.

How has Instagram and social media
impacted your photographic style – what
kind of travel images do you find are most
popular on them?
Due to the layout of Instagram, I do my best
to not post similar images or photos from
the same location next to one another, in
a way to keep my feed looking fresh and
not having it look all the same. I find that
popular tourist sites tend to do well when it
comes to engagement, an example being the
Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto, Japan. Those
iconic orange torii gates are hard to miss
and are incredibly popular among many
photographers and tourists alike.
