About:

Hi, I'm Evan.

I’m a landscape photographer based in Bellingham, Washington. Spend a week here and you’d understand how someone could accidentally become a landscape photographer.

I spent the first half of my childhood in Bellingham before moving to Danville, Illinois at age nine. But some places have a way of calling you back. In 2011, shortly after high school graduation, life brought me back to Washington. At the time, my photography experience didn’t go much beyond Myspace and Facebook selfies. My love for landscapes didn’t start with a camera. It started with a drive.

Thanksgiving Day, 2011. My mom took my brothers and I on a drive to one of her favorite places, Nooksack Falls. It wasn’t my first time seeing the Pacific Northwest, but it felt like the first time I could really see it. The endless evergreens. The sheer scale of the mountains. The feeling of stepping into another world. Pristine and wild. And of course, the roar of the falls. I wanted more of that feeling.

Over the years, hiking and camping became my escape. By 2017, my adventures took me deeper into remote landscapes and I found myself wanting to capture those moments, the ones that left me in awe. I wasn’t aiming to be a photographer. I just wanted to remember the feeling. But eventually, I wanted to do these places justice. I picked up my first real camera, then the next, and the next. Photography became more than a hobby. It became my way of sharing that feeling of standing somewhere, remote, silent, and impossibly beautiful.

These are the moments I continue to pursue.
