Images from the 'Foreign Worlds' series ask the viewer to image a place where identity is
not linked to appearance. Where appearances are dynamic and there is no link between who
someone is and how they look.
Engaging the viewer's imagination is one aspiration I have for my imagery. An artist using
photography struggles against the viewer seeing the image as more than just a realistic
representation of an actual moment. These images were abstracted using light and water.
They were created on set and in camera.
My desire to capture motion, emotion, the feeling of a scene constantly occupies my mind and dominate my work. I choose to articulate these subjects with women because I am drawn to them. From their lines and curves to the way they move when they are dancing or just walking down the street. What intrigues me is trying to capture the beauty of those forms and movements. I am amazed at how the slightest change in movement can effect what is communicated. For me photography forges the very best way for me to understand and explore these relationships in an artistic manner.
