Photography for me was my escape, my man cave.
After years of steeling time, to practice my craft I found it incredibly humbling that other people seemed to feel something from what I had caught through my lens. My pursuit of new experiences pushed me to continually evolve my vision. I like to think that I carry my camera now with humour, compassion and curiosity. While I am confident in my knowledge and the skills that I use in my work, I believe I learn from every shoot and I am constantly questioning how can I improve ? How can I refine the process?
The creativity in my portrait work, is the result of collaborating closely with my client, listening to their ideas and imaginings. Sometimes the photo, between the photos is the scene stealer.
It’s important to have those moments to hold.
