I am a fine art photographer with a documentary approach. I seek to capture what already exists without manipulation of the light or subject. For me, the real and unaltered (and sometimes flawed) subject is what I feel truly tells a story. This approach lends itself to my interest in layers, both visual and metaphorical. My first series, Reflections, took a more literal approach - I crafted layers within layers in camera by using the reflections on the street. These layers are metaphorical representations of the layers within me. In my series MIDWAY, I look at the many layers within the context of the fair - children as commodity, carnies, hulking machinery. In my most recent project, I am looking at the classical use of windows and the separate visual planes created by layering the interior and exterior of a room.
