The World as I See It

 

Exploring the most popular world destinations as well as places few people ever step foot is all a part of the journey. Just like every photograph does, each location has a story from the people and local culture to the environmental conditions and ever-changing landscape. Many of these places demand a great deal of gratitude and respect to remain as they are for generations to come.

Creating a photograph from a film strip or a digital file is where a lot of the artist’s personality comes to life. When I put my personal touch on an image, I believe the viewer should see what I saw. A natural look, to me is both more realistic and relatable. I hope that you recognize the places you’ve been and be flooded with memories of your own experience at the location or feel inspired to take a trip to a new location.

Inspiring others through photography is very important to me. Photography is more than just capturing a moment in time. Art evokes an emotion and I believe photography should do the same. When viewing my art, you should feel the same feeling(s) I had while exploring our natural world.

Fine Art Prints

There is a big difference between viewing an art on a backlit screen and seeing it come to life as something you can hold in your hands. There are a lot of factors in printing high quality art. I only use the highest quality materials and professionally calibrated displays and printers to create art you’ll want to have as the centerpiece in your favorite room.

From Fine Art paper prints to Canvas, Metal and even Acrylic, my photographs can be printed in many different sizes and across multiple mediums.

It all started when...

I remember when I got my first digital point and shoot camera as a kid. No zoom, no focus and not even a display to see what the pictures looked like after taking them. I would just point, and shoot and then point, and shoot again. This camera went on family vacations with me and even just around the house taking pictures of the family dog, my family or things around the back yard. 

I was first introduced to what I consider to be “creative” or “purposeful” photography while in high school using 35mm film. I was captivated right away with the ability to learn the entire process from picking out the correct film all the way through developing my photographs in a big room with the lights turned off and eventually creating the prints all in a classroom environment. 

Although my roots will always be in 35mm film, with the introduction of digital, I chose to trade the rolls of film and a literally dark room for memory cards, digital sensors a digital darkroom, which at first was an uneasy mix of excitement and intimidation for me, but quickly became the new normal. My excitement around photography leads me to taking pictures of whatever captures my eye, but my true passion comes alive in God’s country. When stepping away from the hustle and bustle of life in the city, when all you can hear is the birds chirping and the water flowing something special happens. My goal is to accurately capture these experiences and transport my viewers to that exact moment.
