PHOTOGRAPHY AT-A-GLANCE
My photographic journey is an experience of 20-years of professional/personal encounters within the realms of fashion, product, fine art & commercial photography.
Below is a glimpse of our lives through my lens translating the people I have met and grown with from childhood to adult.
Life Lessons, Messages and Meanings abound in reflective discovery connecting us through published works globally since 2010.
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES
A series of “foodsploitation” that originated from experience of unemployment and wage-gap issues. Early in the stages of development, the series leaves room for growth in the initial environments of work with what you have to put food on the table and survive from there.
Not Public Domain but of Public Interest Possibly.
Series inspired by The Divine Comedy and life questions and introductions. Tackles the stages of psychological grief and trauma influenced heavily from both "Alice in Wonderland" and Dante's "Divine Comedy" with imagery inspired by classic literature, myths and fine art that goes beyond photographic image to drive an overall narrative of psychological healing and self-actualization.
Award Winning Series, "Heroes + Villains", focuses on acceptance of individuality and identity through adults reconnecting with the childhood instinct of pretend to transform themselves into the modern myths of comic, cartoon and pop culture in their own image and imagination.
COMMERCIAL WORKS, METHODOLOGY & ART DIRECTION
I’ve approached commercial work from the experience paved with my own equipment and outside the realm of traditional studios & knowledge.
My communal up-bringing brought me from photographing archetypes in my hallway and kitchen to officially licensee artist of The Disney Bridal Brand from 2014—2017.
Through that experience, it is my belief that the key to success is understanding your client’s potential as they did in myself as well.
From there, the transformation of their/our ideas to a vision evoking mood and story that resonates with a brand's ideal audience.
