Artist Statement
My photography started as a way to purely document my travels throughout the United States and Europe, but it has become my main form of creative expression. Too often we pass by natural beauty or fail to appreciate the things we are surrounded by every day. Through my photography I hope to preserve what has been forgotten and renew that which we have grown accustomed to.
My work focuses on three main genres of photography including landscape astrophotography, black and white minimalism, and seascapes. I set out to capture specific emotions that I want to convey with each image. I choose long exposures to not just capture a specific moment, but to convey movements that help complete a vision. Whether it is stars that seem to streak across the entire sky or a jetty that disappears in to a colorless ocean, it is a view not seen by simply looking through the camera.
Photography is my escape; it’s my peace in an otherwise hectic place. I hope that viewers find the same beauty and serenity in viewing my images as I find making them.
