About Commercial Art:
I'm a talkative, personable photographer that enjoys meeting new people and finding out what our photographs will mean to to those who view them. I try and ease my clients to get them to open up and show me some of who they are on the inside while I capture and describe who they are on the outside. I want to see personality and then to make it show in the photographs. My technical knowledge with digital photography lends itself to portraits and fashion photography, making portraits out of people and creating fashion from clothes.

About Conceptual Art:
I am enamored with photography's ability to not only describe but also transform a subject. Photographing an object or person transforms it into an array of forms and symbols which then tells stories and visualizes emotions through a sort of visual language. The goal in my work is to utilize this visual language to express personal interpretations and evaluations of the society around me. This is the materialization of my thoughts.
