Artist Statement

My artistic goal is to take familiar things that we see everyday and make them into something unique, causing the viewer to see them in a whole new way.

In the days before digital photography, dramatic alterations of the image could be achieved using Infrared film, specialized darkroom effects or Polaroid films. Today, I use digital photography in conjunction with computer software to dramatically alter color, depth, exposure and texture to achieve a truly unique image.

Most of my current work is created with an iPhone. The iPhone along with photo apps seem like a natural fit for creating these images. The apps allow me to create saturated, glowing color with a "Polaroid-like" quality. I will often push the image even further using multiple apps to create exactly what I want to see. I also enjoy working in conventional photography but the emerging art form of "iPhoneography" allows me to much more freedom to see just how far I can push the boundaries of an iPhone and imaging software to create artistic images.
