Artist Statement

Photography is a fascinating medium. Often, it is overlooked, simply because anyone and everyone has access to a camera. The obvious purpose of a camera for users is to capture views and memories. Except the camera is capable of capturing much more.
With my photographs, I showcase subtle beauty and hidden masterpieces in my environment. My photographs are not meant to be viewed as natural scenes. But instead, composed forms of light, structure, and shape. From a simple shadow to an array of colors. The content I photograph is not nearly as important as the composition I frame.
I'm drawn to intimate moments within a large space. Showcasing only a detail of that space allows me to control my compositions. An intriguing image is a well-composed image. For example architecture’s lines inspire me— whether they are the lines of the structure or the shadows reflected upon it. They challenge me to recontextualize them.
Photography allocates me to give my audience and myself a new perspective on the ‘view’ of a landscape. And my camera constantly provides me with the opportunity to illuminate the world in a new way.
