I’m Aaron Rice. I’m inspired to share with you my thoughts, experiences, and emotions through my lenses.

My mission is to travel and create. Wherever I go, I strive to capture inspirational results that resonate.

My passion for storytelling started early. Around 10 years old, I was shooting and editing skate videos on VHS and exploring the power of Photoshop on a clunky box computer with dial-up internet. Fast forward to my teenage years, I hit the road in a touring hardcore band, managing everything from designing merchandise, crafting promotional flyers, and building our brand.

In my 20’s, I served in the U.S. Army, traveling the Pacific Coast and to destinations like Korea, Taiwan, and Afghanistan. A wide array of life experiences quickly ignited a passion for exploration and understanding life from new perspectives.

After my military service, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Data Science, balancing studies while working full-time as an air traffic controller in Honolulu, Hawaii.

In summer 2024, a medical emergency led to the loss of my medical clearance for air traffic control. While unexpected, this allowed me to embrace creative pursuits and explore new opportunities.

I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to visit new places and capture still moments amidst today’s fast-paced world. Through this platform, I hope to inspire others to pick up a camera and explore their own creative interpretations of the world. I also look forward to sharing the moments I’ve captured and offering my skills to help others preserve their cherished moments.
