Light and Shadow Photography

About Me

I have been a photographer and businessperson for 20 years, and have always had passion for it. Each of my projects being photographic or movies is a graphic presentation of my vision in collaboration with others.The use of light, color and shadows to sculpt the image is in the forefront of my mind when I create. I tend to love the creation process, not the result of my work. This type of vision allows me to be inspired on every project I work on. It allows me to listen to other ideas and view points gaining even more inspiration to create for the viewer. I use still photography or video, along, interesting subjects and places. Surrounding myself with creative, business minded people, experts in their fields to make lasting, memorable, even haunting and thought provoking projects. I know how to use a verity of cameras and lights work with people places and things to make something that lasts. My business skills allow me to direct others, organize projects, and have since enough to think about money and time. I keep that balanced with the creative side of me. I have no delusions of money being unlimited on any project. I believe in finding bargains, cutting overhead, organize, plan, schedule, and delegate to people, check their work but give them the freedom to do it. Praise those who do well, correct those who do wrong, and make a project worth remembering. Most of all I work hard to get the job done and done right, on time and if at all possible under budget. Creative, intimate and traditional Wedding images.

My Interests

My main interests are Photography, and Yes I still use Film, Black and white, Color, infra red. I also dont believe in making it "better" in Photoshop. Make it all happen in camera, Use my mind take the hard shot. Light and compose create. To use light in different ways, composition just like the greatest photographers and artists, to be great then do great things. I have devoted myself to the way of photography. Every aspect even digital if I have to. I have recently gotten into film and movie making. Yes Film there too, when ever costs allow. I write, and sculpt and Paint when time and money allow. Business and making money with my craft is also an essential way of life for me. Learning to dance and do metal work as well as glass work are on the top of my list of things to do as well.
