My choice of photographic subjects stems from my fascination with natures raw beauty and how humans are destroying what nature has to offer by being carless of their surroundings. I seek to reveal the beauty of the people who are trying to right the wrongs mankind has forced on the worlds natural elements. Taking photographs of nature’s scenery is one of my favorite things to do when I travel but I also enjoy being in the studio taking photographs of models. Most of my recent works are portraits taken in the studio. I like being able to manipulate the lights, models, and backdrops to create photographs that reflect the exact image I have in my mind.
