He's also just had some work on display at the Aperture Gallery in New York, which was sold by Christie's.

I'm on a never-ending quest to learn more and to discover new ways to take photos. In this day and age, when everyone has a camera or iPhone, I know that what I do is offer a different angle, perspective and the ability to create images that are unique.
