The earth is Mother Nature’s canvas. Her beauty, her delicacy, and her power are reflected in a world of light, color, shape, texture, and movement. My approach to photographing both nature and people, focuses primarily on portraitures that capture expression, emotion and the spirit of my subjects.   Brooks Institute of Photography — Master of Science in Photography.
