An Artistic Perspective

I don’t have a specific type that I like more than another. It’s just when I feel inspired. I like to look at life through the lens and show people how I see the world. Like photography is more than just taking pictures with a nice camera. It’s about creating an artistic perspective on something everyone sees every day. In today’s times it’s easy to get a nice camera for an affordable price but not everyone can create compositions like you. And it’s impressive the way you turn pictures into art

Thank you. I appreciate that.

And you’re so right. It takes way more than a camera. Or a lens. Or a VSCO preset. I’m finally feeling like I have something to say as a photographer, after many years of experimenting and trying and fits and starts.

The gear is fun. But making stuff is way more fun.

Shadows & Light

As a photographer, shadows and light (along with maybe color) are your paint and paintbrush. You are a recorder of light, or the absence of light.

It’s what I love about taking urban exploration photos: finding those areas where light meets dark, and creates mystery. What’s in the corner? What lies waiting in the shadows? What can’t I see?

I found a great abandoned warehouse in mid Michigan where these big, bright windows let in a lot of light. But as usual with window light, it falls off in such a great way. There’s just enough illumination to highlight details on the interior, and just enough shadow to make some mystery.

I’m drawn to these areas when I find something to photograph. Where just enough light leaks in to make something magic.
