I have loved photography since the first time I touched a camera and it has always been something that feels as natural to me as breathing. There are times that I feel I am not truly looking at the world until I have looked at it through the eye of my camera. As an artist, I find my expression in a multitude of mediums yet no outlet breaths as much life into me as when I open my perceptions through the use of a lens. With a camera in hand, I feel awakened to the mysterious and the hidden of the world and I seek ways to bring both myself and my viewers into a new realm of reality.
Through my images, I desire to share a vision of beauty that runs deeper than the softness of light and skin that dominates classical ideals. It is my hope to entice the viewer into delving into emotions and questions stirred by the image. The image that I strive to create is one that melds the recognizably beautiful with things that are darker (with decaying surroundings, rough textures, deep colors, dramatic displays of light and shadow, or the portrayal of gloomier emotions) into a blending that becomes somehow serene; otherworldly yet touch-ably real in what is stirred. I wish to show beauty in the depths of what is generally considered best hidden or forgotten so that the viewer may step away with a greater sense of peace in the duality of their own, and all nature.
Photography is one of my greatest passions, and I have been doing it for over eight years. I love working with different models and my goal has always been to create a shot that is artistic rather than merely glamorous. When working with models, I almost always have a "story" that I want to tell with the pictures. I have also worked as a photographer at the The Clarion newspaper and did a photography internship at Dayton Daily News. I have worked taking portraits at the Picture People as well as been hired by various companies to take photos to use in marketing themselves.
