Eclipse 1

Throughout my work I focus on the concept of impermanence and subjectivity as defined by an ever-shifting palette of natural light and color. Eclipse is representative of the constant state of change that unifies all forms in our environment. I tend to look for overlooked objects, shapes, and materials that we might see on an everyday basis, highlighting passing fragments of light that allow us to view these forms in a new way without the bias of societal context. My process involves shooting hundred and hundreds of images of the same composition, focusing on unmanipulated natural light, until I am able to pick out the shots with the most distinct energy, movement, and emotion.

For me, all subjects exist as fluid, their surfaces ever-changing by way of variations in light, time, and perspective. Through my photographic work, created entirely without digital manipulation, I aim to highlight the unique combinations of these factors that give life and soul to the surrounding atmosphere and to the present moment. At the core of my work I explore how these variables along with the differences in our subjective perspective define the unique feelings we associate with commonplace subjects.
