SKIN 2003 index

There is something about the portraiture and figure work of early theatre, clelebrity, fashion, and even glamour photographers that I find irresistably intriguing. Those pictures hold a spiritual romanticism, a rare and even religious beauty, which sadly, seems all but completely lost in their modern equivalents.

Upon initially encountering my photographs one might typically conclude or even take for granted that they are vintage or old photographs. However it is not my mission to fool anyone, nor am I attempting to replicate works from bygone eras. I employ visual formulas and techniques to explore an aesthetic in which elements of purity, innocence, grace, dignity, and wholesomeness are central components to portraiture that expresses inner beauty as an ideal.
