A NOTE ABOUT MY PRACTICE:
"My emphasis lies on the fundamental aspects of light, exposure, and composition; the foundational principles of successful photography, while also integrating sophisticated post-production techniques in Photoshop. I made the switch to digital photography upon discovering the craft of composite image creation. This method enables me to blend traditional photography with cutting-edge technology, allowing me to produce surreal combined images from numerous photographs, sometimes as many as 100, into a single, cohesively crafted print. I exclusively utilize a digital format camera, continuously capturing images of anything that piques my interest, such as: water, forests, urban landscapes, fields, flowers, weeds, nests, and graffiti. Over the years, I have amassed an extensive archive of photographs. I do not employ AI or stock photography."
