Artist Statement

"I firmly believe that we become deaf, blind, and mute

without music and art as forms of communication."

My goal in photography is to capture a photograph that evokes an emotion or directs the viewer to write their own story using my pictures. My aesthetics and style lean towards a beautiful, sublime, low-light background setting with vivid color contrasts in the forefront. I find beauty in the dark while shooting a concert, in a studio, or on an adventure. Especially during a clear night, to capture stars over time to create star trail photographs. I also have been known to take a concert photograph and turn it into an abstract that leaves viewers wanting to know how I produced the piece and what I used to create it.
