Still Life Light Painting
Each print is a composite of multiple photographs, taken in the dark with diffused light applied to each object. The highlights are blended to reconstruct the composition, creating rich colors and textures that are hard to replicate with studio flash. Many say my images have a “painterly look,” which I’m always happy to hear.

Day-to-Night
I create day-to-night images by capturing a photograph during the day and then carefully post-processing it to transform it into a nighttime scene. This approach is similar to my still-life light painting process, where I darken a fill-light capture and selectively add highlights to enhance the final image. These works are intended as fine art photography, distinct from architectural, documentary, or street photography. Throughout the process, I modify the photograph to create a result that not only pleases me but, hopefully, resonates with others as well
