Artist’s Statement
I hope you will find my photographic work to be unique, personal and artistically appealing. My subject matter is varied, and I experiment with styles and textures so my work doesn’t just reflect a single look. In addition to including monochrome, color and infrared photographs, my body of work contains images that are highly saturated and others that tend to be desaturated. Some images are highly detailed and/or high contrast and graphic, while others are soft and impressionistic. The goal of my work is to help you feel the emotion I felt during the image capture.
