Since my passion for photography is as an artist, I work primarily in abstracts and scapes. To say I am an artist whose medium is photography doesn't mean I manipulate my photographs the way a painter does with oils or a poet does with words—it's more that I see compositionally as an artist; my photographs are more concerned with the relationship of line, positive and negative space (shape), and chiaroscuro than they are with object or subject or where they were taken.

It's not so much what is being photographed that is of primary concern, it's the way it is all organized in the frame and how it invites the viewer to 'see' too. Most of my photographs are therefore untitled to preserve the purity of the viewer's interaction with them.

I also specialize in Environmental Portraits and Documentaries (weddings, reunions, birthdays, and other celebrations, gatherings, or events), and have an extensive Stock Collection for commercial use. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of my photos or want to hire me for a personalized photo shoot, including my unique artistic interpretation of you in your home environment or favorite place.
