Artist Statement
Photography has given me the opportunity to explore connections. These connections are an experience, both the simple and the deep. The camera stands in-between. My work exists to create a safe space for myself, who I create projects with and for the world, to feel and to mindfully experience. I simply do it because I love it. Photography has taught me flow, which is how a soul navigates the present. I see it through my lens and ink it on a photo paper. It’s an honor for me to create.
When the Camera Paints
Being photographed is a state of mind, photographing is a state of mind, and a camera is simply a tool. A tool that does not create emotion but acts as a conduit. A conduit to the energy or aura from the moment a photo is taken. How am I feeling when a shutter is clicked? How Is the person in front of me feeling when the shutter is clicked? A photo session is essentially therapy. A therapy session where a camera is both the Pen, the Notebook. The Couch Is the space, where we are both, therapist and patient.
