I’m on a journey in trying to find my voice in photography, and possibly more of myself along the way. My images aim to portray a world that I seek; one that is simple, silent and devoid of the noise that increasingly dominates our complicated and distracted lives. I like to give my subjects space for them to breathe, just like I need to find space so that my soul can breathe. Photography gives me the silence that I increasingly desire. It is my meditation.
My images are often not true interpretations of what my camera sees, but more importantly to me, they are true interpretations of the stories that I want to tell. Ultimately I aim to produce images with a vision to inspire people to simplify their lives and appreciate the very few things that truly matter and bring us a feeling of contentment. It’s this underlying vision that guides the choices I make in my photography, along with my heart and intuition.
