My ambition for creating stunning digital images began over two decades ago.  I would trek into the wilderness of the southern Arizona desert or climb the vertical cliffs of Central Oregon.  No matter where my adventures took me, I had my trusted point-and-shoot camera at my side.  One day, I went looking for a simple computer program to stitch panoramic shots together (before smart phones were even a thing) and I discovered Photoshop.

 

I became overwhelmingly fascinated with Photoshop and its endless creative possibilities.  Social media pics of my friends were fair game and many found themselves depicted in some surreal comical environment.  It wasn’t long before I purchased my first DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel T1i.  I became obsessed with light and how the camera preserved it in its true form, absent compensation from the human brain.  Over time, my passion for creating stunning photos in camera outgrew my obsession with Photoshop.

​

My style of photography today combines my love of dramatic lighting and digital post-processing.  My ambition is to create that moment when someone or something is so beautifully encapsulated in light that it takes my breath away; then share it with the world.
