Welcome to Nomadic Fox Photography - ethan fox miles
Ethan Fox Miles - Why Nomadic?
Because I am. I have been for quite some time.
Always knew I would be. Since I was young.
About 15 years, on and off, to be honest.
I’ve always wanted to roam the earth, having no attachments and the freedom to go anywhere and I’ve managed to do that, in many ways. With the desire to see new places and collect experiences (and not things), I've been blessed to have seen and experienced SO much, and many more to come.
My travels have taken me to more than 70 countries, and I’ve resided in about a dozen (so far), some for a matter of years, others a few months.
Instead of electing to go for the "stable" life in one place, I chose the route of work visas and volunteer work to live in countries like Australia, Ireland, the UK, and China, as well as volunteering in Europe, Central and South America as well North America.
My goal is to show you, the visitor, the world I saw and still see.
I see it, I feel it. I aim to capture it the way I felt it.
The many places I've had the fortune to visit. I aim to give you, the viewing visitor my own interpretation of the world through my many travels and photo assignments. My connection to that moment. Less I write, the better :P
You decide what emotion it invokes in you. I will never tell viewers what they are supposed to see.
Every photo has a story, no doubt, but...what do you see? what do you feel?
I never stop traveling, or moving for that matter. Hyperactive, yes, but much less so these days, the older I got.
I move around, because of a sense of exploration, of wonder. This world is a beautiful place.
Like the fox, roaming his surroundings, I travel about and around looking for moments of connection and clarity.
My roots are inside me, my joy is within and I’m not my country or any country I’m a citizen of. I aim to live without labels, just as I am.
I'm non technical and don't care about rules.
I see it, I feel it, I aim to seize that moment.
Photography is my medium of emotion, I see it all in pictures it's from the heart that I aim to share.
I see it, I feel it, I aim to seize that moment.
Photography is my medium of emotion, I see it all in pictures it's from the heart that I aim to share.
When it comes to photography, I look for a connection, a transformation of sorts.
Unstaged, unbiased, without prejudice. As it is. Bare. Raw. There.
I seek that moment within me. Being in the moment, frozen in time, and that moment, as I press the camera shutter, is that connection.
With any subject, be it a person, animal, a place, a thing I aim to convey that connection and desire to say as little as possible about my pictures, rather, share with the viewer that moment
that feeling I had. As it is.
It is therefore up to the viewer to decide whether he/she like that captured moment and understand my intention and by doing so, connecting with me through the image.
I hope you all enjoy the work and my website.
