My work is an exercise in subtraction. I approach the world not to document it in its entirety, but to isolate the hidden rhythms beneath the surface of the visible. By stripping away the noise of the landscape, I search for the essential: the quiet dialogue between light and void, the tension of a single line, and the weight of silence.
Photography, for me, is a process of deconstruction. Whether capturing the vast, unpeopled expanses of a frozen shoreline or the intricate interplay of shadows in an urban corridor, my focus remains on the geometry of the soul. I am drawn to "Veiled Solitude"—those moments where the environment feels less like a physical place and more like a state of mind.
This pursuit often leads me to subvert traditional perspective. In collections like Fjord Totems and Lines and Shapes, I challenge the viewer’s relationship with gravity and the horizon. By rotating the frame and emphasizing symmetry, I transform raw geology and water into abstract monuments. These are not merely photographs of nature; they are digital sculptures built from the architecture of the earth.
I find inspiration in the concept of the visual haiku—the ability to convey a profound narrative through the leanest possible means. My compositions favor negative space and monochromatic palettes, allowing the viewer room to breathe. I believe a photograph should not provide all the answers; instead, it should act as a threshold, inviting an emotional response as singular as the subject itself.
Ultimately, my portfolio is a collection of silent encounters. It is an exploration of the permanence of stone against the fleeting nature of mist. I invite you to step into these spaces of quietude and see the landscape not as a destination, but as a series of rhythmic, geometric truths.
On Style: What is the visual style of my art? The best way I can put it into words is Contemplative Abstraction.
I aspire to take "big" nature and render it intimate and structural. I don't desire to chase the "grandeur" of a scene; instead, I chase its skeleton—the underlying meaning stripped of distraction. There is a mathematical elegance in this work; I use my camera to find order in the organic, and then employ digital tools to accentuate and clarify the message of what I see and feel.
