Artist Statement:
Elements that I consider
essential to excellent visuals
are composition, lighting,
color and texture. Another
element which is essential in
depicting life is the decisive
moment - whether it’s a
child’s expression or the
height of action in a sports
photo.
These elements are important
in my images. In addition, I
look for simplicity in
composition to convey an idea,
a mood, or an action.
Simplicity enables the artist
to communicate more
effectively .
Although the range of my
subject matter is extensive,
the graphic elements within my
photographs unite them as one
body of work....
