Film Portfolio
I love developing my own photographs in the dark room.
For the last 8 years, I have specialized in the cyanotype, platinum palladium and van dyke brown alternative photographic processes. I also have extensive experience in the darkroom, working with silver gelatin prints but favor the alternative processes.
I grew up painting
and drawing illustrations, which has influenced my fine art photography.
I was drawn to the alternative photographic processes because of the freedom it gives me in applying the chemicals. I’ve discovered my own style in the way I develop the images, making them appear as if they have been painted onto the paper.
I also love working with different paper textures and types, which these processes allow me to do.
Alternative photographic processes refers to any non-traditional or non-commercial photographic printing process.
I am known for
including mixed media in my photographs, such as: Watercolor, colored pencil and pen and ink.
Digital Portfolio
As a seasoned photographer
with a strong focus on digital photography, I have accumulated an exuberant amount of experience using the digital camera. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various aspects of this versatile art form, including studio composition, lighting, and post-processing. I understand the importance of creating visually appealing images that grab the viewer's attention and convey a clear message.
Through my creative eye, technical expertise, and artistic sensibilities, I have built a solid portfolio that showcases my ability to capture and immortalize moments with precision and style. From portraits to landscapes, events to still life, I have explored various genres, constantly pushing myself to evolve and adapt.
In addition to capturing captivating moments in real-time, I have also cultivated a deep understanding of post-processing techniques. Through software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, I bring my images to life, refining colors, enhancing details, and adding artistic effects when desired. This meticulous touch has allowed me to elevate my work and deliver visually compelling photographs to my fine art photography.
Over the course of my career, I have embraced this ever-changing landscape, staying up-to-date with the latest equipment and techniques. From DSLRs to mirrorless cameras, and from professional-grade software to mobile editing apps, I have adapted to the digital revolution.
While digital photography has opened numerous doors, it has also presented challenges. With the availability of affordable cameras and editing tools, the market has become saturated with photographers of varying skill levels. Yet, my extensive experience, education and passion drive me to continuously refine my craft and differentiate myself from the competition.
