About Me

“Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.” ~ Freeman Patterson
 

I am a freelance photographer. I do street and social documentary photography.  I also adopt the pace of nature and turn my focus on the great outdoors to capture the naturistic dimensions.  My unique perspective and creative vision delivers the essence of a moment or a place in the form of photographic art. My photography will bring you the sound of a waterfall or the roar of a subway train; a little piece of nature, the daily life on the streets or life's happy, honest moments where you will see, feel and experience the LIFE itself.  So much happens around us, near or far. There is always a compelling story that needs to be told, a social issue that needs a voice.  Using my art to make a difference in this world is important and very rewarding. The feeling of contentment, inner peace and abundance that I find through photography is exhilarating.  When I explore and capture what is around me, discover beauty in unusual places, when I express myself though my art, I am truly happy and at peace, feeling rested and inspired.

I have learned what makes me who I am as a photographer today out in the field. I have read books and publications and online material; however, practice has been and still is my ultimate way of learning and enhancing my skills as a photographer. However, few years ago I took few commercial photography classes at Delaware Technical Community College. I also successfully completed an online individualized photography course offered by Photographic Society of America.  

My work has been part of the Wilmington Art Loop as well as Newark Art Loop several times. I won few local photography awards.  I received multiple acceptances to Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography (WIEP).  In addition, I received several acceptances in DPS and PSA competitions.
