d that photography wasn't just a passing hobby. The roots of the word photography translate out to "drawing with light". Artists work for years to create the perfect work of art. I strive to create photographs that will be worth every minute you spend shooting with me, and worth every penny you pay for the final images. Before I discovered photography, I spent a lot of time drawing and painting and appreciating fine art in all its forms. I believe this allows me to be a more well-rounded photographer, because I have spent quality time appreciating fine art and all different sorts of photography. I am not afraid to push the envelope when it comes to the limits of photography, and I am always willing to try new things. I believe that photography is not just "aim-focus-shoot"; it is using the surroundings around you and the tools you have provided yourself with to create a beautiful work of art - "drawing with light."
