The Build and The Capture:
My work exists at the intersection of technical precision and pure observation.
In my commercial photography, I specialize in the "build", using advanced compositing and post-production to craft high-end, polished images that meet the rigorous demands of commercial marketing.
In contrast, my fine art is a return to authenticity. Here, the post-production tools are set aside in favor of the pure, unmanipulated frame. It is a vital distinction: one is an engineered result for a brief; the other is a genuine moment, captured exactly as I found it.
