Photography – Pittsburgh
Photography is an active and engaging process, I can sense the environment and look for the perfect moment, the glimpse of reality that needs to be expressed. I tell a story through the lens of my camera and present the world in it's true beauty. Whether that story echoes the soul of a city, people and their experiences, or an event that needs to be documented, I bring that story to your doorstep. When I shoot urban landscapes and cities, I venture through the cities I'm visiting and engage with the local citizens, constantly developing a rapport with the people and learning about the city itself. My photographs are an extension of that conversation, you begin to understand why people love the city they live in. With my portrait photography, it's always a process to get to know the model before I even begin taking photos. When they feel they're comfortable and open up, I want to capture that moment. Usually I'll have them tell me a story about their lives, something that has made an impact in their personality, and then focus on that moment. And the shutter moves and the camera catches the moment.
