Color Photography

My formal training began with film in the darkroom. Now, I am working with digital imagery. I feel the same magic come alive when I open an image in Photoshop as I did working in the darkroom.

Much of my digital work is influenced by the psychedelic pop culture images of my childhood. Using richly saturated colors with an emphasis on luminosity I create a somewhat surreal image.

My photographic images begin in the RAW format. I often begin producing multiple layers with various filters and effects. I then add and subtract from the various components of the image. Some parts of the image might only have one layer, while others may have ten or more layers or effects to produce the look and feel that I wish to convey. Occasionally I find photographic image that stands alone in it’s beauty and uniqueness and I only wish to share it in it’s simplicity.

I am an current member of Professional Photographers of America as well as The Central Brevard Art Association.

I am represented by Downtown Gallery in Titusville Florida and Island Art Gallery in Merritt Island Florida. My work is regularly featured in exhibits through out Brevard County as part of The Art in Public Spaces curated by The Brevard Culture Alliance, Art in Public Places curated by The Central Brevard Art Association as well as various juried art festivals and contests in Florida.
