Rarely do we see others (or ourselves) in profile. Yet profiles illuminate a person’s strengths, courage, and vulnerabilities. I choose my subjects for their distinctive, distinguishing features. The topography of a face in profile fascinates and challenges me. The more limited depth constraints of a profile can lead to the most striking results. I find this unusual view to be elegant and mysterious, at once simplifying and yet strengthening. I want to show the rarely seen side view when a personality and a story emerge in their simplest form.
I am a vegetable whisperer. For the past 10 years I have been photographing character studies of the misunderstood, taken-for-granted humble vegetable. The Pedestal Series shows in galleries and private collections world wide. This body of work honors and celebrates vegetables, fruit and edible plants by literally placing them high on pedestals.
