Memories are timeless treasures of the heart.
Life brings tears, smiles, and memories. The tears dry, the smiles fade, but the memories last forever.
A photograph is an opportunity to preserve those memories. Creatively approaching each image is key. Various artistic techniques are combined to strengthen the shapes, textures, and colors within an image. Specific camera lenses and filters provide different ways to convey the message. My images are shot with professional quality equipment, and all of the negatives are organized in multiple databases. Each photograph is printed on archival substrates of your choice. Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity. Open Edition prints are digitally signed by the artist.
With photography, the light and its reflections are continually changing. Working quickly and efficiently is necessary to make the most out of each opportunity. This constant change in natural lighting is a challenge, but it is an intriguing aspect of photography. The reward often comes from waiting on the light and its reflections to fall at exactly the right angle. My photography focuses on how to encompass an image with light and its reflections. Whether incorporating bright colors, the values expressed in a black and white photo, or how the light reflects off of the subject and cuts across the background; the light and its reflections are crucial to illuminating the message of each image. Utilizing the colors within the visible sections of the light spectrum can reveal scenes and subjects in a different light. From highlights to shadows, all the different values are integral parts of an image.
Taking the time necessary to measure both the light falling on a subject and the amount of light reflected off the subject allows me to obtain the intended effects. Specific moments in life can be displayed with supplementary lighting as a visual representation of what was gained from that experience.
