TITLE: Desert

Desert , Silver Gelatin Print, Black Rock Desert, 2015

I walk the boundaries between timeless and fresh, reshaping classic themes with a unique sensibility. I acknowledge there’s no avoiding the sensuality of the feminine nude, but the emphasis of my work is never nudity itself. Rather the uncluttered human form serves as a palette for numberless nuances made possible by light and shadow, as well as a reminder of who we are under our daily mask of pretense.

To fully engage with my photographs I believe it's best to see them with a child's eye, open to amazement by simple things. The purposeful simplicity of my compositions is intended to open the mind and spirit by communicating in unmediated fashion with the viewer. My aspiration is for the viewer to feel the image resonate with the harmony of sensuality and spirit that exists all around us yet we so rarely see.
