Artist Statement

Growing up I longed to feel more connected to the place I called home. When I became a photographer, I began searching for places that were rich in character and cultural identify, and inspired emotion and awe.

Each image I create, whether it is a rustic rural landscape, a complex architectural structure, or a historic urban storefront, needs to have a strong sense of place. Through the use of shapes, color, shadows and light, my goal is to draw the viewer to the inner beauty and historical value within each photograph.

Bio

I am a New York-based fine art photographer focused on architecture, street, and landscape photos. I earned a Bachelor’s from Fordham University and studied commercial photography at LaGuardia Community College. Driven by a passion to find and capture places with strong meaning, I document landscapes that feel authentic and historic. Whether showing a disappearing scene or a unique building, I aim to connect viewers with the true beauty of a moment in time.

I began my career in the darkroom, working primarily with infrared film, creating both urban and rural landscapes that I would then hand-paint to add a personal artistic touch. Since transitioning to digital photography, I have expanded my portfolio to include iconic scenes along Route 66, the serene coastal landscapes on Long Island’s East End, urban architectural treasures, candid street moments, and the quickly vanishing storefronts of New York City.

My work has been featured in a variety of domestic and international gallery exhibitions and is included in numerous private and corporate collections. Additionally, I am honored to be a recipient of several prestigious international photography awards, and my images have been published over the years, reflecting my ongoing commitment to the art of photography.
