- [Speaker] What is photography to me?
I guess you could say it's everything to me.
- I think people take photographs to crystallize a moment,
to illuminate how they see the world in their perspective.
- [Speaker] I got into photography
because I was a biologist.
My role as a scientist, I felt ineffective.
And I thought if I could just translate the work
to a global audience using storytelling and photography,
then I knew I had a purpose.
- There's something special about the human experience.
We're all going to the same places
but seeing it differently.
- The most fascinating part of photography
is how you can put 10 people together in the same room
and they will create 10 different images.
- Only one person has your eyes, it's you.
The way you view the world, nobody else will.
- [Speaker] This is our time.
It's the most exciting moment ever in photography.
- [Speaker] It really is just a passion
that motivates me to keep getting up and keep going.
- [Speaker] It's part of my daily routine,
it's like therapy for me.
- [Speaker] In its simplest form,
photography is just capturing light bouncing off of objects,
but it is so, so much more than that.
- Closer, closer, right there.
- Oh, look at the puppies.
- Oh, oh.
- The Milky Way is like right through this.
- [Speaker] This is the stuff that keeps me coming back.
- [Speaker] Oh my God, this is so epic.
I don't even know how I'm gonna shoot this.
- [Speaker] The fact that you can't
ever truly master photography is one
of the most beautiful things about it.
You will always be able to improve.
There's always gonna be something more to work on.
- [Speaker] I am a student of the craft.
It'll be a lifelong journey til the day I die.
- [Speaker] And that's the beauty of photography.
We are a family of storytellers.
