I am captivated by people and the energy they exude... The human spirit fascinates me, and I am intrigued with what makes people who they are. That is why I am a fine art photographer. I believe a fine art portrait captures the true essence of a person to allow the world a glimpse into their being. There is a moment during every session that people open up and reveal who they are. I am there to capture that moment. And with my passion for art and love for photography, the image I capture will be transformed into a fine art portrait, an image people cannot take their eyes off. Look into their eyes and the light that reflects from inside; who do you see?
