ARTIST STATEMENT
For me, the experience of immersing myself in the location is just as important as the photograph. As a photographer, my mission is to make images that depict my emotions and relationship to my surroundings and through the creative process. My prior life as a professional musician overlaps in the creative sense with my photography
It’s the whole experience that fascinates me. When I make an image, I have to negotiate the creative boundaries of what goes into the image, often before the camera even comes out of my bag. The places I’ve seen and the friends I’ve made along the way through photography enrich the process. Images are the end product of the process. The process of making art keeps me going. Artist first, photographer second.
As an artist, the image is a by-product of being lucky enough to get to the places I travel to, the people I meet and the overall experience. It’s not just the images that provide the total experience!
