I like the ability to capture moments in time, it reminds me of a quote I once heard ” the best view of history is through the artist scope.” I intend for my work to be recognized in the field for making an impact on people both the subject and the viewer. I try to place the viewer in a position of tension, enticing them to feel by playing with contrast and texture. I like to be spontaneous in photographic sessions to allow a natural flow to emerge, which is relaxing and genuine. I find this creates the right atmosphere to capture a sense of a person or space and also to be creative in my art making processes. I love the ability to freeze a memory both for the viewer and myself; I find a real understanding of nostalgia and what a moment can mean to people. It thrills me to be there at the right time to interact and capture the precious seconds, which can represent a lifetime.
