Statement: Often I shoot a picture as source for what I want the photo to look like once I've worked on it. Thus some photos are completely natural while others have been worked on digitally. This isn't to manipulate the subject into something it's not, but rather to emphasize what it is that I wanted to capture in the first place. My subjects are predominantly urban and I normally create a very high contrast, making the darks black and the lights white to the point of being washed out. My aim is for subject and presentation to drip with a coarse richness, as I try to reveal beauty in the broken, discarded, and overlooked.

This page features photos from my portfolio. Please contact me for more information.
