Photojournalism

My style is photojournalistic. In other words, I would rather catch your expression in a candid moment than to take a photo with you looking straight at the camera, saying cheese. I want to capture that great smile you have, but wouldn’t it be so much better to catch one that is real?

What I love about photography is that it gives me a chance to capture a moment, with all its emotions and memories, and share it with you. Maybe it’s the moment where the fresh apple pie is steaming by an open window, with red and white checkered drapes billowing in the summer breeze. Or maybe it’s that moment when a maid of honor’s brow rises in dread as she realizes she forgot the wedding band. Sharing those moments that move the soul—that’s what really drives me.

When I was young, I drew constantly. In high school, I began taking pictures, and never stopped. I studied film at the University of North Texas and graduated with a BA in Radio/Television/Film. My training in college only increased my passion to communicate through pictures, whether motion on still. Whether you know that person in the picture, or have been to the landscape in the frame, doesn’t really matter. What matters, is that movement in your soul.
