As a photographic artist, I become an extension of what I photograph, and therefore, my images breathe the life of my subjects. All subject matter contains a story. With presence and inner focus, I draw out these stories, capturing subtle nuances, emotions, character, and mood. I look for the innate beauty and style in people, architecture, and nature, combining visual aesthetics with essence.
I combine playful energy and technical skill to compose creatively charged images, developing a documentary style of photography that has a foundation in fine art.
Over the past 35 years, I pursued my photographic career by exploring and working in many aspects of the industry. As a custom lab technician, an eye for technical detail was developed. As a portrait and fashion photographer, I learned to recognize the photographic requirements of my clients. An education as a graphic designer has given me insight into print media.
My intent as an artist is to draw the viewer into an interactive and conscious experience of the world, to become more present to the beauty in life that can often be missed.
