“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.” -Edward Steichen
THE FACE BEHIND THE NAME —
(The Portrait is the Window to the Soul)
An artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person through a stand-alone image.
​
Peering a little deeper behind the features that make up a person emerges a complex being with emotion and stature.
​
Captivating in nature, each person has a fascinating story, if we take the time to understand and listen.
I try to teeter on the line of familiarity and uncomfortability. A quick witted joke or a side-ball comment from behind the camera, can sometimes be the magic element to bring the essence of a person from their own heart to highlight in the image.
People are so fascinating and beautiful in their own subtle ways.
​
Capturing the elements of what makes that individual unique in this world is an honor and a privilege for me as a photographer.
