Fine Art Figure Photography - Fine Art Landscape Photography – Encaustic art wax paintings. For collectors, interior designers, and art buyers interested in original art and limited edition photographs.

My fine art photography continues to evolve, guided by my desire to add depth and texture to my images. I want to go beyond what is recorded by the camera; transforming the images gives me the opportunity to add my own range of textural and color possibilities to further explore my version of the image within my own stylized parameters.

I am most interested in fine art figurative photography and capturing what is unknown. Believing that we rarely, if ever, are able to show our whole self; there remains a part of each of us that is unavailable and inaccessible—thus creating a sense of mystery and contemplation.

Photographing in black & white I prefer to strip the image of color allowing raw emotions and ideas to emerge. Frequently the photographs are then sepia toned adding the warmth of a patina, balancing the cold and impersonal feel of the black & white. I then apply and re-apply layers and texture until the image feels right.

Hidden in the highlights and shadows of the images my subjects expose themselves through gestures, actions, and emotions thus allowing me the opportunity to capture what is unexpected and revealing. Each viewer interprets the image in his or her own way bringing to the experience insights into their own “hidden self”.
