I make art in order to capture the essence of who a person is and what it is that
makes other people so curious about them both physically and emotionally. My art form
is allowing myself to creatively express through the photographic medium that in which
I find inherent in all of humanity. That is, the idea of communication through a subject's
expression, beginning with the gaze in their eyes, the subtle or crooked smile and
even through their posture. These traits are completely and singularly theirs that
they own, somewhat like a fingerprint. Everyone has them, but no one has the same
print. Its these individual traits that I'm completely obsessed with and pursue to
capture in every single sitting.
