There have been many, generally, they are images which question human relationships with the world around us.

What would you do without photography?
That is a difficult question as I found photography to be a way of expressing myself, without it I would be lost.

One that stands out at the moment is from my Human Nature series, the leaning tree. It expresses a force of nature and my general consensus as a human to embrace its power.
What role does the photographer have in society?
I believe my role as a photographer in society is to ask questions, capture beauty as I see it, document it and share it.
