The role of the photographer has changed dramatically with the advent of the digital revolution. Equipment and software are constantly changing, and people expect much more from a photographer than just someone who takes photos. My goal is to capture life at its most beautiful, to give other people a glimpse of what I see when I look through the lens. I want to not only capture a moment in time – but the feeling, the atmosphere, the energy of that moment.
We live in a visual society, and are continuously bombarded with images everywhere we turn. We have been overwhelmed and numbed by the incredible amount of mediocrity we are exposed to on a daily basis. From reality television to assembly line art, the image has been diluted. There will always be a place for art. Whether most will admit it or are even aware of it – our world is held together by art. Culture is the glue that binds our society, and in an absence of art – our world will crumble and decompose.
