THE LUST FOR ART

IT STARTED WITH LOVE

THE LUST FOR ART IT STARTED WITH LOVE


WHY DO YOU SHOOT?


  • It started with love. Shooting with no intention, my great love. My girl. In our most private, special and intimate moments. Love taught me how to look at an image and find the magic and wonder. The lust for art.

    Quite simply and definitively I am driven by the imagination to create imagery that produces thought and emotion. The fuel of this had always been music and film. Movies that open up your dreams, songs that speak to your deepest places. But as time goes by, it is the the most simple and deep of wishes- to land in a happy place.

    Cinematic. Epic. Swirling gestures. I like to think of my pictures as movie frames, stills of a moment in a story, paired with sweeping sound, lyrical movement. This is what drives my choices in color, light and form. It is the journey of storytelling. It is my truest joy. It's the footprint I want to leave in the sand.

    My goal is to apply this approach to each photographic genre I work within. Whether it be art, fashion, food, a beautiful portrait session or an empowering sensual shoot, I hope the staging and workmanship fade away so that the full intoxication of the moment can take over the imagination. I look forward to making art with you.
