Artist Statement

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera." - Dorothea Lange

I am fine art and documentary photographer based in central NJ, and I exhibit my work locally and internationally.

Rather than taking photographs, I am usually taken by what I see, and only then try to uniquely capture and share the vision of my mind's eye. My subject types range and may be located in various corners of the world, but in all cases I look for unusual perspectives and position my lens with care such that a strong composition emerges.

Photography is a passion that I inherited from my mother at a young age. I’ve since taken it on my own path and it has become my creative outlet and offering.
