Portraits are a shared conversation between the photographer, the subject, and the viewer. It’s a feeling, a human connection, and a moment.

A portrait is a recognizable depiction of a real person in visual art like sculpture, painting, or photography. Fashions change: today, the selfie reigns while Baroque depictions like those on the ceiling at Versailles are out (for now); each is an idealization.

I don’t mind idealization, but I also like the real. I’ve made many portraits over the last five years. I love working with people, sculpting shapes out of light, and capturing the essence (whatever that is). I work both in my home studio and outside in natural light.
