My fascination with photography is deeply rooted in the idea
of selection, or
more precisely, reduction. Through the lens, any scene, be
it natural or
posed is a broad canvas from which to extract the essential
nature of a subject
and record it onto film. It is the process of selectively presenting
a subject
devoid of all extraneous matter so that is it free to communicate
something
about itself beyond its (obvious) physical nature. What I portray
through
still images is nothing more – or less – than the world
as I understand it.
Whether through symmetry, contrast, texture or the myriad other
ways in which we
relate to the physical world, I hope to share with viewers
simply one way of
seeing.
