“Light and composition are the basis for a good photograph, but a truly memorable photograph also conveys the essence of the image”.

 

Maybe it’s the play of shadows and light, a display of emotion, or colors, or lines and shapes that first draws my eye. Some or all of these characteristics are important in photography, but I want my images to evoke a sense of being there, of wanting to be there.

My work also extends to creating fine art images. The fine art images are initially created from photographs and then digitally enhanced to reflect painterly qualities or abstractions.
