ABOUT ME

I photograph to make art. My goal is to engage the viewer on an emotional level. I value curiosity, humor and whimsy, and am drawn to strange and different topics.

I enjoy night photography. Night time is moody, peaceful, haunting and alien. Things look different at night. People are different at night.

People are a strong element in my photography. Photography teaches me about people. Photographing people teaches me about photography. All of this teaches me about myself.

I'm passionate about photographic art. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I do making them.
