About

When I first began photographing I would find myself driving to random locations to photograph anything that caught my eye. While I still enjoy doing this, the vast majority of my photographic work now explores crafted narrative scenes, often mixing human drama and comedic relief.

My narrative work began with a series of self portraits that arose from the desire to attempt portraiture but, due to varied schedules, I was unable to find many subjects to photograph. As a result, I simply decided to jump in front of the camera myself thinking that I would always be around when I needed someone to photograph. These self portraits led to a series that combined two photographs, taken in succession, that when printed in the darkroom together gave the impression that I was literally having a conversation with myself.

Out of the desire to get behind the camera again I starting searching for another source of portrait subjects. After seeing some action figures lying around in the basement I decided to try photographing a few toys and attempted to make them look as realistic as possible. The realism that I believed existed in those toys as a child came back to life in a brand new way and I had found my new subjects. My toy collection continues to grow, and as a result, my photography portfolio continues to grow as well.
