Artist Statement
My vision leads me to photograph people and places in fresh and exhilarating ways. Often, I concentrate my work on close up and dramatic views. I am always looking for a special ray of light that turns ordinary images into a magic moment. I am happiest when I’m completely absorbed in my photography,
and I lose all sense of time.
