Photography is a means to use a visual metaphor to tell a story. As a still photographer I aspire to tell a complete story in one single image. I see the visual language of photography as poetically universal in the same way music is universal. There’s no formal language barrier to sharing a photographic narrative or an emotion captured in a single fraction of a second, it boils down to a resonance, a communion between myself and the viewer. I’m not talking objective photojournalism but rather metaphorically narrative ideas. The viewer may infer a completely different meaning in an image than the one I intended or see something in it that I didn’t originally see but my hope is that my work will emotionally connect with them for a brief moment and tell them a story.
