Artist Statement:
In my work, I am focusing on two elements that often overlap: light and reflection. Capturing light can be tricky, so I am experimenting with the best way to make a photograph with natural lighting that can compare with that which made the original scene interesting. As for reflections, they come in many different forms, from mirrors and puddles to repeating forms and symmetry. I am trying to take photographs that show these reflections in a way that makes them stand out in differently than they do when you pass by them on the street or walking down a hall. To do these things, I work closely with the framing of my photographs, making sure that every piece of information in the photograph is completely necessary and adjusting my frame even the slightest bit as necessary. This body of work is the current culmination of my efforts to take these types of photographs but is ever growing and evolving.
