ABOUT ME
I use photography to ask and answer questions. Most often, the beautiful answer to the questions I pose are people.
People are the most fascinating subjects for me because each person's gaze, pose, and movement tells me something about their history, personality, hidden sides, and emotions. Sometimes I come across a group of people whose story literally jumps out of what they are doing. Other times, I have an idea and use models and props to tell a story. I particularly enjoy photographing fairs, markets, parades and other events where adults come out to play. Bared bodies are also an integral part of my work. By displaying them in unexpected ways or settings, I celebrate the great wonder that is the human form. I'm equally inspired by music and other forms of art, and use my photography to tell the visual stories of jazz musicians, body painters, tattoo artists, and many others who are engaged in their own creative processes. I also use photos to illustrate my favorite songs. Projection photography is another special interest. I shoot portraits of subjects wrapped in images projected onto them in a darkened room. The result is an imagined reality where the subject and their digital skin temporarily combine. My main motivation for shooting photos is to better understand myself. Nonetheless, I was honored to be selected as a finalist in the 2019 Ed van der Elsken "Lust for Life" Photo Competition of the Nederland's Fotomuseum.
