Artist Statement
As a photographer with a wide range of experience in a multitude of photographic fields, I am not only able to adapt to different situations and environments, but also make work that exceeds what is wanted while creating something unique. Something I am especially passionate about is being able to preserve a moment and the feelings attached. This passion of mine allowed me to develop a creative eye that is unique and special to me. It keeps me going and I strive to share how I see the world and others, because to me, it is too special not to.
