I have a strong passion for photographing
people. For me working with models in studio or
outdoors is highly rewarding. I enjoy the
communication and ability to collaborate with
someone, share ideas and try things maybe I
would have never thought of is gratifying.
Getting good people shots is all about
cooperation in a relaxed atmosphere.
I work mainly with female models and in my work
I try to capture a unique expression of female
beauty and sensuality. Light, composition and
color all play an important role in creating
this imagery, but an equally important aspect
is the expression that a model projects into
the composition. It is this unique expression,
a bit of the essence of the model, that I
attempt to capture. In order to capture this
essense, a high degree of rapport is needed
with the models I work with. The model must be
in tune with the kind of images I want to
create as facial features play an important
part in most of my work. I try to achieve this
rapport by building a high degree of trust,
open communication with the model, and a clear
understanding that this is a cooperative
creative process. While I create a set, set the
pose and lights, it is the model's creativity
and expressiveness that in the end breathes
life into my work. I approach each photographic
session with a quiet mind and open eyes, awake
to the infinite creative possibilities that
each moment presents.
