About My Photography

Photography is my passion

I had a camera when I was young. As a teenager I learned to develop B/W film.

I continue to explore and develop this artistic expression, and grow even more committed to this art everytime I capture a new image.

The more I learn, the more I understand how much more there is to learn. Two of the most important lessons:

  • It's not about the light, it's the shadows.
  • It's not about the camera, it's the eye.

Photoshop

One thing that might surprise you. I don't use Photoshop. I don't have any issue with others using it, and in the right hands it's an amazing tool. I just prefer to work with the camera rather than the computer.

Influences

There are many photographers that have inspired me. The few that continue to influence me the most are:

Words about images

I struggle to describe my images. Words often obscure and distort visual art. Rather than label and categorize, I prefer to have the images speak for themselves. What do you see?
