It has been proven over time that emotional connection is the most consistent factor in the success of image – making. The mysterious nature of imagery has the ability to deviously seduce its audience.

I have found success in creating an image that can last in the memory – similar to the way particular music is not easy to forget.

The process for me is usually begins with an instict to find the most compositionally compelling perspective through a black and white contrast.

Next, begins the layering of light and color to develop a particular emotion on the scene. When seeking inspiration, it is common to find rerence in music, paintings, and the walks of city life.

The next steps will be to layer reality into the art-piece, finding elements that complement the nature of the initial “under-painting”.
