My art explores the fascinating tension between commercial photography and the raw emotional landscape of personal experience. I'm drawn to the challenge of capturing the allure of beauty in fragrances, beverages, jewelry, and fashion in my commercial work. I dive into the introspective realm of fine art, using photography to process and visually articulate themes of abandonment and neglect. This personal exploration is the core of my artistic practice, allowing me to confront difficult emotions and transform them into something tangible and relatable.
For my commercial work, I utilize studio lighting and digital post-processing to create flawless, high-end images. My fine art, however, often embraces a more organic approach. I might use long exposures, intentional camera movement, or alternative processes to evoke vulnerability. The chosen technique always serves the narrative, whether it's the sleekness of a product shot or the haunting quality of a personal reflection.
My work distinguishes itself through this constant dialogue between commercial and conceptual art. The technical expertise of advertising informs my fine art, while the emotional depth of my personal work adds artistry to my commercial images. I see beauty and creativity in my commercial work and a reflection of my inner self in my fine art—scars, resilience, and self-discovery. Viewers often note the technical skill of my commercial images and the evocative, personal nature of my fine art. My goal is to continue evolving, creating images that capture beauty while exploring the complexities of human experience. I aspire to spark conversations, evoke emotion, and connect with others on a deeper level, bridging the gap between the commercial and conceptual.
