The substance of my style!
I want to like so many others lay out a cohesive photographic essay that leads you to definite conclusions. I'm less interested in just taking "candids" that feel posed and show an interruption of continuity. Pacing and structure are elements that I am actively working on putting together to help the viewer move through the whole series of shots with the idea that somehow they are richer for he experience. Though this is not always possible I think the least amount of words forces the story to be read for what is seen and not what you are told..
I love dark lush colors, Singular photography that tries to tell only one story at a time. I like the sense of peering behind something to see something else. One of the key elements with my shots is a fundamental dependence on chiaroscuro. My subjects emerge into the light from shadowy places to show the triumph of the subject. I am less interested in the story of the hero than I am the everyday man who makes the hero possible.
This may feel like a garbage can being emptied out but I think its important to understand what we are trying to do to know if it is effectively done well.
