I begin by photographing figures and other subject matter with different color filters and films. With painting, drawing and scratching, I evolve the figures and different subjects into unusually beautiful and abstract photographs. Often I create negative collages using 2-7 negatives for one piece. The technique continues in the darkroom where I manipulate the outcome by adding or subtracting yellow, magenta and cyan. Each print maintains subtle differences. Often I add or fill in certain color with photo retouching dyes.

With this technique, I photograph figures, flowers, landscapes, each trying to push the limits of photography. More specifically with the female nudes, I am trying to evoke feelings ranging from intimacy, comfort, security, caring, meditation, to worry, quietness, and thoughtfulness.

Combining these techniques and the emotional images, I am trying to expand people’s ideas of what photography can be. Many people do not believe it is photography, assuming my photographic artwork pieces are paintings. I’ve tried to push beyond the "photographer" title and use "photographic artist".
