Honorable Mention / 2017 / Fine Art / Nudes

Unsharp

For over fifteen years, I worked as a commercial photographer for
magazines, mostly on marketing projects. During this time I gained a
lot of experience, but most of my time was spent taking beautiful
pictures. I eventually arrived at a point where I was no longer
interested in the beauty of a picture but of what the picture was trying
to say. I felt photography could only really be valid if it actually had
something to say about the world. This is why I have a high regard for
those works of mine that aren’t just aesthetically pleasing, but that
strive to show what is important in the world. I now only take photos if
I have something to say. I am passionate about the rights of minorities
and try and make a case for equal rights. I also try and address
questions relating to where we have come from and where we are
heading. My goal is to do this without pathos so the message is clearer
and more accessible.
