Artist Statement Though my gallery consists of images of things, I am a photographer of people.
I specialize in dramatic portraiture; using artifice to create a striking image.
I am deeply fascinated by the culture of retro: that part in each of us that yearns for a simpler, more elegant, more straightforward past yet is not nostalgic -
only seeks to interpret today what went before.
Heavily influenced by today’s fashion photography and images of Hollywood's
golden era of the 30s and 40s; I seek to expose the beauty and quirkiness,
the eccentricity, the unusualness of the individual in my images.
The “what isn’t there” rather than the “what is”
