Artist Statement

The photographs I make are not souvenirs of a moment. They are objects — things meant to live on walls, to be returned to for years, to quietly insist on the importance of the people they depict.

I work in a painterly tradition rooted in chiaroscuro and classical composition, using light the way the old masters used oil — to give form weight, to draw the viewer toward a subject’s interior life. That approach has brought my work into the pages of Vogue Italia, onto the walls of juried exhibitions, and into the collections of the Portrait Masters — not as a destination, but as confirmation that what I’m chasing is real.

My prints are made for collectors who understand that a photograph, at its highest, is not documentation. It is portraiture. It is art. And the right portrait, on the right wall, changes the room it lives in.
