Seeing things in the right light is an age old expression,
nevertheless, it holds true, especially for photography, literally and
figuratively. As a photographer I am a light seeker; I want to see something
extraordinary through my lens and when I do it's always special, wonderful, and
magic. In a very literal sense, I am trying to see things in the right light so
that they please me, are interesting to me, and give me the pleasure of appreciating
them.
When I take portraits I’m always closely watching. I am watching and waiting for something to
happen- something natural, nonchalant, and beautiful, but most importantly, something
real. Like a hunter. I am a stalker. My pray is beauty. I am looking for
aliveness. What I am always aiming for when I take a portrait is connection. I
am looking for an expression, a mood, a breath, a touch, a certain or
particular something that reveals the spirit, the thoughts, the feelings and
the soul of the person I am photographing. This is something that is hard to
do. It is not always achieved, but when it is, it is pure distilled magic.
For my shoot with Jordan, I was fortunate enough to capture
all of those things. I’m completely in love with what I was able to capture
about her! I’m incredibly proud to show the world her photographs.
