Let’s be real — social media isn’t built for depth.
It’s fast, curated, and mostly surface-level.
But if you’re craving something honest… something real… something deeper - you’re in the right place.

I created A Lens & The Wild for exactly that — a deeper look at what it takes to build a life around what you love. The reflections, the raw process, the unseen moments, and the truth behind the work.

My hope is that what you find here resonates — that you feel the humanity behind my life and work, the vision woven through the images, and the reminder that we’re all in this wild thing called life together — and that you feel a little more inspired along the way.
