My fascination with creating images was a gift from my late Father, who was a prominent photographer during the 60?s. As a young child, I spent many hours with him in the dark room. I have rarely been without a camera since those early days and it has been a tool in portraying this wonderful world through my art.
My images help me reveal what I feel about the world; its colors shapes, textures, lines, and forms. My background in science supports my visual expressions, where my objective is to connect between myself and the viewer. I strive to portray familiar and simple subjects around us in an extraordinary way and to acquire the elegance that I see through my lens. I aspire that my work inspires the viewer, subconsciously or not, to develop the viewer?s unique vision and see beauty where one might not stop to look.
Light and my camera are my brushes that create images to transcend the ordinary. To create my prints, I use a combination of classical and digital techniques. Capturing images on film or CCD, I bring them into the digital domain for color and tonal control, and then I use digital enlarger technology to create the final image using traditional photographic archival paper and chemistry. This technique, allows me great artistic control while enabling me to produce prints which have the detail I require without losing the longevity of traditional archival photographic prints.
