Photography
It is my goal to capture the truth of my subjects. Even in the places that most people see as ugly. I like to show people how I see the world. I find that there is beauty everywhere even in some of the hardest places, there is always some beauty. Sometimes as an artist, you have to look a little harder. I have heard a quote and I think sums up how I see the world. It's by a Japanese film director Aklra Kurosawa "To be an artist means never to avert your eyes, and that's the hardest thing. Because we want to flinch. The artist must go into the white-hot center of himself, and our impulse when we get there is to look away and avert our eyes." My favorite images are when I can show people through my photography how beautiful they are, and how unique each person is. I like finding that uniqueness and capturing it. To capture someone, and capture their essence in a photograph is the best thing.
