Watchers

The photographer, model and editor for all my self portraits. Taking photos has always been a passion of mine. I find that I love to express myself using digital photography and imagination to create surreal-like images from my personal thoughts. If something is on my mind, I think about what it would look like in a picture and try to create it. With a tripod or camera in hand, I may dress up (or down) and take a photo. It started as a method to relieve boredom. It was a way to entertain myself while escaping my reality by taking on whatever idea, or subject I tried to interpret. Many of my “selfies” (self portraits) are photos I’ve taken in Montclair and Atlantic City, NJ. Whether it's a new favorite song, the way I look, or how something made me feel, it’s all about the process of putting it in a photo. Sharing and connecting with other creative artists online also fulfills me in an incredible way. I also find that many of my works are spontaneous with little awareness to what the image will look like until after completion.

Aside from my “selfies”, I had the opportunity to work with other artists and models as well. My photography is an important extension of me that I feel necessary to promote for the well-being of my future and creative growth. I am a graduate of Montclair State University with a Bachelors of Arts in Fine Arts.

I've had some interested folks ask about prints of my work, so I created a link on my Website. PLEASE contact me about purchasing certain prints there. Not everything is available through my "deviantart" account.

I do encourage you to check me out on the following online sites as well!

Art is like a good woman.
Sometimes she is the best thing that ever happened to you.
Others she is the worst Bitch on the planet.
But through it all you love her no matter what.
