Biography
I have always had an interest in the arts but very little talent for drawing or painting. I discovered 35mm photography in a college Black & White course and became hooked with the idea of photographing what I could not draw or paint.
From then it has been a journey of striving to faithfully reproduce the landscapes before me. Many of my images use the well known technique of near-to-far perspective to create the illusion of depth. When this technique is combined with optimal lighting a spectacular photo is often the result.
In addition to landscape photography, I continue to do a considerable amount of event and wedding photography. Much like a landscape, I strive to faithfully reproduce an event with candid realism. While technique and equipment requirements differ, what makes an effective is always the same – light and composition.
Over the years, I have been published in various magazines as well as had my work displayed in private galleries. I have sold prints and usage rights to both private parties and corporations.
While I am frequently asked about the equipment I use, I always stress the creative process rather than equipment. However there is something to be gained from knowing the type and not necessarily the brand of equipment. For those with interest in this area please click technical.
