Nudity is a natural expression of the human form and should not be regarded as something shameful. Moreover, women's bodies should be celebrated, and not be objectified. In my photos, I employ the naked human body as a visual focal point---to provoke thought and to invite viewers to question what they see.
I first became interested in art nude photography after a visit to the home of the artist Piet Mondrian. Photographs of Folies Bergère dancers were hanging on Mondrian's studio wall. This led me to wonder---did these photos inspire Mondrian to paint his abstract masterpieces?
I then set out to bring art and muse together. To do so, I projected digital images of iconic paintings onto models as they posed freely in a darkened studio. The result was a series of projection portraits, each distinguished by its own unique geometry, texture, blend of colors, and visual appeal.

I've also sought to use the naked body as a broader storytelling medium. For example, in a few series, I envisioned myself as a big fish, traveling the world on the arms of models serving as travel guides. In others, I've staged series that were parodies of domestic life, created surreal worlds, illustrated the deep connection between the human body and nature, and used paper bag masks to reveal how models see themselves.
