My Portraits

My Portraits

My photographs are mostly portraits that create an emotional bond with the subject.  They are built on a deep awareness of the classical tradition of portraiture. 

My aim is to establish a sense of beauty, identification and appreciation that increases with the passage of time. This can translate to what it is to know a person or place intimately.

Making the moment eternal and translating the reality as a spiritual one, I make the photograph an emotional experience.  The picture brings the subject and viewer to a deeper spiritual moment.
