Growing up in the Hudson Valley I quickly found my passion for hiking and finding the best waterfalls and views around. On any hike, there is the classic spot on the very top of the mountain that's been photographed 1000 times and looks the same in every picture. My goal as a Freelance Photographer is always to get creative and find that shot that showcases the the beauty of the hikes but in a manner that no one has done before. Whether this is by adding a subject, using leaves to frame the image, or decreasing the shutter speed to create a long exposure, its always fun to experiment and see what results.
