ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I make photographs. Whether creating portraits in a studio, or selecting and composing part of a landscape, I view the process as at most my interpretation of reality. The picture forms the place where I interact with the subject and the viewer. Within that interaction exists room for imagination.

My pictures are minimalistic. Fear, wonder, desire, and irreverence loom large in my work whether capturing a mood in a portrait or evoking an emotional response to things around us. My approach to landscape begins with looking down at what is at my feet and finding elements in the small that distill the large.

I use various cameras - from $10 plastic cameras to large format view cameras. I sometimes stress my images during capture or post-exposure to introduce random elements into the process. I look for the defining flaw. Other times I seek ironic juxtapositions in combining modern digital with traditional alternative techniques.

Everyone back in the pool.

A MODEL RELATIONSHIP
I have published a book looking back on my working relationship with a single model over a period of five years. The book is available for purchase on Blurb.com. It is also still available in a limited edition of 25, and includes a custom portfolio case, one platinum print and one color print.
Contact me for more information.
