About the Item

Photography has been my medium for the past twenty years. However, early in my career, I studied painting and worked as a scenic artist for the theater. The skills and sensibilities that I learned from these early experiences really define my style as a photographer. My images are theatrical tableaus, which I photograph with a view camera. My studio is similar to a scene shop, with a prop room and a collection of backdrops. As in the theater, my sets are carefully lit, often using colored gels, so as to integrate the objects into the painted backdrops, as well as to evoke specific moods. The resultant image is poised between the imaginary and the real. Limited collective edition of 25. Inquire for additional sizes.
