I'm an artist who uses photography as my primary form of expression. The central issue for me in my work is to locate an identity, in a personal way, with a subject. When I’m looking at a subject, I’m seeing the surface. I’m interested in how that information gets translated into an image.  

Even though my work is painterly in style, I don’t confuse painting and photography as the same medium. The photographer shouldn’t tell you what to see. You just see it. The same way the camera saw it. My work is produced inside of the medium of photography, and it shows all, nothing is added and nothing is taken out. It's an enigma, and this is the painterly side to it. With photography, an illusion is created to show reality. My criteria to this evidence is about wild, resonant, and suggestive scenarios.

The humanity about photography and a subject is very important to me. Without being coy, I want to take the viewer to the edge. My intention is to create powerful and provocative photographs that contain the height of a story within a moment.
