BEHIND THE LENS

​

I'm a photographer who loves capturing people in their most flattering, natural element. I do not believe in the excessive use of Photoshop or other post-production tools to improve the beauty of my subjects; however, I'm not opposed to using filters, special lights, reflectors and other implements to enhance people during shoots.

 

I believe in the credo that less is more. A simple photograph, taken at mid-to-close range, should include natural lighting, even framing, the rule of thirds, sharp contrasts, and interesting composition. With nature, I love experimenting with different lenses and prefer to take shots in the evening, or when overcast, which either creates soft shadows or eliminates them altogether.

 

​My wish is for people to see themselves as I see them through my lens: striking and remarkable at any age, any size and at any station in life. Though it is generally hard for people to relax around the camera, I hope that my gregarious nature and desire to please others puts them at ease.

 

Just when you let your shoulders down, or sigh, or laugh at a joke, I'll take your picture.
