Photography – Orange County

I’m a budding photographer living in Newport Beach, CA and am trying to capture the beauty of creation around me and maybe show life as it is and with the hope of what it can be. My photographic passion lies in fine art photography, through landscapes/seascapes, the soul of surfing, and urban scapes. I generally have four things in mind when crafting an image. These four things also shape my overall concept of what it means for me to be an artist. 1. Beauty – I am looking for things to shoot that exemplify beauty, worth and value or to bring out the natural beauty of my subject. 2. Unity – So much of modern art attempts to deconstruct. At some point there is a need to reconstruct a counter or alternate reality. In each image I want to find a good balance and harmony between my subjects and the environment that they are in. It really is important that the subjects blend into a complete composition in a natural and inspiring way. 3. Transcendence – By this I mean that I want the viewer to see that there is something bigger and grander at work. 4. Iconic - Lastly I want each image to be something representative and lasting of that moment or place even if that place is ordinary.
