TITLE: Minimalism

In this portfolio I draw inspiration from the art of minimalism. By using modern technology I have created photographs that are both true to the artist and the definition of minimalism but convey a modernist approach. These photographs bring about a heightened sense of drama, an intense image communicated by the use of high contrast black and white and crisp clean lines of the geometric form, but with a certain amount of realism.

I was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1965. I have no formal  education in art, but I did study to become a chef. I have been an active photographer throughout the last decade, but only began exhibiting in 2012.  Because I am self taught, I am never afraid to try different  techniques. My photography has been influenced first by the works of Eugene Edget, and later by Man-Ray. Since deliberately moving toward photography as fine art, I have been experimenting more with architectural abstracts and nude studies.
My work has appeared in numerous group and solo exhibitions around the world, predominately in New York City and Europe.
