Everyone has a unique perspective that is true to them alone. I try to communicate my perspective visually in a way that is true and different. One of my goals is to never repeat a shot or to take the same shot with the same background and lighting in the same way twice. That is one of the reasons why I love to shoot on location.
In this part of the country, there is so much beauty around us that part of the fun is finding new places to go and new ways to capture people and what surrounds them.
I've found that the more collaboration I get with my subjects, the better the end result. So if you are looking for something besides going the three pose special at Studio X, give me a call.
