The familiar items in our life are the foundations of my photography: a glass, a feather, or dusty chalk.

My still life images usually start with an intriguing discovery about a common subject. I notice the way it bends light, or I see an interesting pattern or the radiance of color in late afternoon light. At that moment, a door is ajar to a new discovery about this thing. Balance, shape, lines, refractions, patterns and color harmony intrigue me.

Often my discovery will evolve over many days as I use my camera to explore, observe and capture the remarkable natural designs and colors I see. When I display a still life image, I want folks to experience a moment that sparks their imagination, as though they were viewing this very familiar thing for the very first time.

PROCESS

I believe sound, basic principles of composition and light are necessary when capturing images.My images are captured with a high-resolution DSLR camera in RAW format using the best quality lenses. They are carefully developed in the proper color space and white balance to insure print accuracy. Once processed, I then print, matte and frame my photos in limited editions using archival ink and paper to insure print longevity.

ABOUT MY LIMITED EDITIONS

All my prints are limited editions of 250, inclusive of all sizes. This means that though I may offer a photograph in multiple sizes, I will never sell more than 250 total of that photograph.
