Emily developed an early interest in the natural world around her, spending time on long walks through the woods and exploring nearby streams and fields. As she grew older, her interest in nature only deepened, and she began to take an interest in photography as a means of capturing the beauty and wonder of the ecosystems she enjoyed exploring. Emily's photography is characterized by a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the natural world. She has a talent for capturing the fleeting moments of beauty that are often overlooked by others. Emily hopes her nature photography will help highlight the importance of protecting the environment and its many inhabitants.
Emily is also drawn to the ruins of ancient civilizations and the stories they tell about the people who once lived there. Her photographs of ancient relics are hauntingly beautiful, capturing the spirits of the past while also highlighting intricate details. Each antique she photographs has a story to tell, and through her photographs Emily seeks to share their unique history and cultural significance. Whether she is photographing a caribou perched on a mountain ridge or an ancient statue bathed in golden light, she has a knack for finding the perfect perspective and lighting to showcase her subject.
Currently a high school senior, Emily has already made a name for herself in the world of photography. Her work, most recently, is being published in National Geographic’s 2024 Student Travel publication. She has received numerous awards for her stunning images, including recently:
