A scene ready for recording has achieved a sense of balance that keeps the viewer’s eye squarely within the frame of the finished piece. Not to disappoint, but there is no intellectual angst or emotional turmoil that drives my art, or my need to create it. I just enjoy the beauty of the outdoors very much, and recording it in an artful and creative way brings me great pleasure. I've found the female nude to be an outstanding photographic theme to create with. My compositional style, I would have to say, is more sculptural and design oriented, than, say, portraiture. I like to work with the simple shapes of the human form, and as a common denominator, go off and use different techniques, both in camera, and in post production. The variation, of pose, of body type, of camera perspective, lighting, composition, and setting, creates so many fantastic variations, that the creative challenge is always there.
