My inspiration stems from the interplay of light, color and gesture - elements that provoke emotion and spark curiosity. Gesture, in particular, becomes a pivotal aspect of my work, encapsulating the energy I sense in each scene, whether it's serene and graceful or vibrant and energetic.  Sometimes this energy is tangible, like the contours of clouds, the rhythm of waves, or the fluttering of leaves; other times it is subtly conveyed through creative in-camera techniques and post-processing to highlight the visual dynamism that may go unnoticed.  I aim to create images that balance intrigue and harmony, ensuring they captivate without overwhelming the viewer.  

Discovery and experimentation are integral to each stage of my photography process.  In the moment of capture I carefully evaluate composition, exposure, lens selection and perspective, whether I am immersed in ocean waves, navigating a mountain path, or adjusting for a macro close-up.  During post-processing I’m focused on enhancing the vitality and emotional resonance of the image by experimenting with luminosity, hue, saturation, and various printing techniques.  I ponder over the most suitable medium and presentation style - whether a matte fine art finish or a sleek metal or acrylic print - to ensure each piece truly reflects its essence.  

My goal is to immerse you in the energy and splendor of the scene, as if you were right there next to me as I captured it.  Hopefully, it elicits in you, as it does me, a sense of wonder, optimism and joy.

My images are captured in a variety of locations including Long Island, America's National Parks, Iceland, Aruba, The Southwest, Alaska, Upstate New York and New England. I handle the complete workflow of each image, from capture, through editing and digital development, to producing the final print.
