Allen's passion for photography birthed from an unexpected trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2014. With a newly purchased DSLR camera in hand and in a world that was completely foreign to him, Allen was hooked from the first press of the shutter attempting to capture what he really saw with his own eyes. 

​

After 8 years of extensive self-education in all facets of photography and post-processing, Allen has developed a unique eye for a variety of photographic genres. Although, landscape and in particular dark sky photography are his true passions.

Allen is also an expert in post-processing development and follows Ansel Adam's workflow where over 50% of the creative process occurs in the "darkroom". But of course, Allen's darkroom is his computer loaded with today's modern era software that is commonly available to all photographers.
