Omen

Omen explores how fragmentary organic moments of light can impact the feeling of a composition when we strip away defining characteristics of conventional subject and form. The scale of Omen allows one to be engulfed by the feelings triggered by fleeting fragments of natural light. I shoot hundreds of photos of any given composition, attempting to remove recognizable indicators of depth or subject, in order to place our mind in a neutral state of observation. Unconstrained by individual bias of the subject, we are able to experience feeling, energy, and emotion simply from the natural atmospheric light of that moment in time.

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.
