My photographs are a collection of what I see, what I imagine, and ultimately what I wish to express through my own visual language. Sometimes these images emerge from spontaneous encounters; other times, they are staged visions.
I mainly shoot people--their remarkable variety in size, shape, and expression makes them the ideal raw material for the stories I wish to tell. In shooting people, I aim to present images that captivate, resonate, and linger with the viewer. In my travel and street photography, I'm drawn to spontaneous moments of joy and excitement. I love capturing images of people performing and celebrating, both here and abroad. Another dimension of my work is art nude photography. I use images of naked bodies to draw attention to a subject, and to encourage viewers to question what they see. In my conceptual series, I draw on inanimate objects, found imagery, and abstract compositions to explore different themes. These images are designed to communicate hidden meanings. I listen to music as I edit my photos, and subconsciously, music informs much of what I create. My top-50 songs series illustrates the ways in which music nourishes my creativity. As an occasional participant in photo contests, I was honored to be chosen as a finalist in the 2019 Ed van der Elsken "Lust for Life" competition, organized by the Netherlands Fotomuseum. This "lust for life" spirit can be found in many of my images. A catalogue with a complete listing of the series posted on this web site can be downloaded here. Click the titles in the catalogue to open each series. Collaboration is most welcome. Guidelines for working on a TFP basis can be found here.
