About Me
My sensibility to light, shadow and compositional elements, is inspirational and the creation of unique imagery is my passion.
As a media arts professional, I see things differently.
The steps of my life’s journey have focused on the complexities of human experience. Immersed in the visual context of human interest, care, respect, and appreciation of the intricate details of humanity. For me, a camera is like a painter’s brush or a sculptor’s chisel, a tool to manifest an evolution and a vision development expressing creative techniques. The world is my studio; my passion is light, shadow and shapes, lines, and textures in composition. In the world of my proverbial studio is unlimited access to artistic context to assist in writing and expressing the human story visually. Ironically, in a recent interview, I was asked what I like to capture photographically, and my answer was, “ I love to capture the invisible things of humanity.”
Photography is an expression that articulates the inner soul and its fine details, the essence of humanity’s unique personality, extracting the hidden qualities that live deep within our species' collective. This uncovers the profound expression of self and its nuances. I seek the soul and exactness of each inspiration, the human experience, interest, and the invisible things about humanity that must be revealed. Furthermore, the nature of light itself and how it affects our souls. The goal is to give every creation its own life so that it may live in its specific moment of light and time. An encountered moment to be savored for a lifetime in the form of a physical photographic representation, a print.
