ARTIST STATEMENT
I currently reside in New York City, having previously lived and worked in Europe. My travels have taken me to four of the seven continents to date.
My experiences abroad amongst different peoples and cultures as well as seeing some of the most beautiful natural scenery our planet has to offer has inspired my art. All of this has deepened my commitment to the art and science of photography.
In my color landscapes, cityscapes and panoramas I utilize what nature has to offer in the moment. I am galvanized by the dynamic of the interplay of movement and constantly changing light.
I find the process of transforming a color scene into black and white photography particularly exhilarating because it taps deeply into my creativity.
Through my portraiture photography I seek to capture pensive or engaging individuals.
The image above was taken at one of my favorite places in the world: Kirkjufell mountain and waterfalls in west Iceland. It was shot during the midnight sun (around 2 in the morning) approaching the summer solstice. The sun had just dropped below the horizon, while clouds were moving faster than usual. The colors were spectacular; the long exposure blended the colors to create a summer light show and a gamut of tones accentuated in black and white.
The two smaller images above are from my recent trip to Iceland. The one on the left was one of the most incredible sunsets I've ever experienced at Gullfoss waterfall; I waited for two hours for the clouds to part. They did right at sunset. The image to the right was a breathtaking scene on the black beach at Reynisfjara. I have posted more images of my recent trip to Iceland including some of the northern lights.
