I am a photographer based in Freeport, Illinois. Photography is a personal passion and hobby.
I believe photography is a method of understanding and expressing subjective reality. In my photography I attempt to capture and manipulate the composition to create a shared reality, a connection between the artist and the viewer. I strive to create photographs that use light, shadow, contrast, color, and form to relate my unique emotional experience of a place, scene, or object.
Explosion (left)is a part of my city lights series which experiments with using camera manipulation to blur neon lights of the city to make unique abstract photographs.
