Artist's statement

Photography is more than just capturing a photo. It involves capturing emotion. When you control an image, you can handle everything from the depth of field to the motion in a picture. Both of these evoke different feelings when it comes to viewing the image. In Fine Art Photography, both are vital as they add to the story told in the photograph. In Event photography, this is just as important. Being able to freeze a moment in time and present that image allows others to feel the same emotion one felt while taking the photo. I consistently ensure I capture the beauty in life, nature, or a subject I'm shooting throughout my career. Even though I specialize in event and commercial photography, landscape fine art photography has always held a place in my heart, and I still shoot landscapes whenever possible.
