About the photographer

My goal with fine art photography is to show our everyday surroundings in new and interesting ways and to capture what it feels like to experience a place or a time. I also like to show ordinary objects in ways people aren't used to seeing them; sometimes depicting them only as abstract representations rather than literal portraits. I place very strong emphasis on composition and design in all my photographs, often creating images strictly for the visual beauty or interest of a particular form, object, shadow or texture.

My art photography is all shot on film using traditional equipment and methods then scanned to digital. After capture, my workflow is now entirely digital for the control, quality and flexibility modern tools allow. For art photography I prefer the aesthetic and visual tradition that goes along with film, plus I like the quality and flexibility that film capture still gives, especially with black and white. I also like to follow the classical approach of creating the image I want in the camera. For this reason I avoid significant post-processing of my photographs, limiting my digital work to what would have been possible in the traditional darkroom.

My formal education in art and photography was completed at the University at Buffalo, where I received a Bachelors of Fine Art. I also hold a Masters in Product Development from Rochester Institute of Technology. I have been an active photographer for over twenty years, and I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA).
