FINE ART PORTRAITS

I love to photograph people in situations that portray universal themes of growing older.  Children and adolescents are my favorite subjects.  They seem simple but are quite complex.  These timeless complexities connect us all.  My photographs are visual metaphors of life captured in everyday moments.
