My Photography:
There is a saying "Be happy for this moment, this moment is your life" & with that being said, is what makes photography very special to me. Being able to capture moments, whether they be planned or not, it's your life, your experience’s, your blessings captured through a lense and portrayed through a photograph. I love photographing people, making a connection with people while we shoot is an amazing experience.
I'm enticed to the energy of females. For centuries artists have captured women through art and to this day, still can be conceived as controversial or divine, depending on who is observing the piece, it is subjective, though I truly see it as devine manifestation. The feminine element has been something that has inspired me all my life and photographing this beauty is an extension of my emotions, inspiration and expression.
When a photographer captures a special moment, it can tell a story, give a vibration, remind you of a certain memory, cause euphoria for your senses and really make you wonder in a moment of inspiration. That is why photography is my medium to create visual poetry that I cannot create otherwise. I can bring my dreams & fantasies, idealistic visions to life! Stamping those moment in time!
