Murfreesboro, TN
Biography:
I have to express creativity in some form while I'm on this planet. I played violin when I was younger, and worked in newspapers and magazines throughout college. I stopped writing short fiction and poetry quite some time ago and now that energy has channeled into photography. I consider the work I produce to be an extension of my writing efforts and film appreciation. I would also say I'm a photographer because I enjoy collaborating with people and I do quality work we can both enjoy at the end of the day.
My creative inspiration for photography stems a great deal from film and literature. When I work with someone on creating an image, I believe myself to be unconsciously filled with flashes of textures, frames, actions, colors, and much more. Those flashes mix with narrative voices and the result is a collective of my influences and an innate desire to produce something different from what I photographed previously.
Conceptual, creative photography is the base for almost any image I work to create. Light and shadow, as well as color coordination, precision, framing, and quirkiness have become words I cannot go a day without referencing or utilizing during the process. I am a student of the arts, and it is my wish that the work I am doing allows me to continually progress within art and fashion. I have enjoyed my time in this endeavor from the start and I am always pleasantly surprised as to how much more there is out there to learn and use for experimentation.
