Couture Portraiture

A MIRRORED VIEW..TAKING THE ORDINARY AND EXPLORING TO EXPOSE AND CAPTURE THE EXTRAORDINARY. I USE MY NIKON TO DISCOVER THE SOUL, THE ID, THE SOMETIMES DARK BUT ALWAYS TRUTHFUL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT AND ENCAPSULATE IT ONTO A CANVAS. THUS BEGINS THE PROCESS. DIGITAL IMAGERY IS INTRODUCED TO HEIGHTEN THE INTENSITY, TO CREATE THE MOOD , FEELING, AND TO EVOKE EMOTION. MY CAMERA CAPTURES THE IMAGES AND MY WORK FLOW TRANSFORMS IT. I COMPOSITE PORTRAITS FOR THE ECLECTIC MIND. IN MY DIGITAL DARKROOM, NORMALCY IS TWISTED, SKEWED, AND PERVERTED, CREATING A VERISIMILITUDE FOR THE OBSERVER. THOUGHT, PASSION, AND HEART GO INTO EVERY ASPECT OF MY WORK OF ART. IT STIRS AND PROVOKES. IT MAY ENLIGHTEN AND DEFINITELY INDUCE OPINION. IT IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF ART, “THE QUALITY, PRODUCTION, EXPRESSION, AND REALM OF WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND OF MORE THAN ORDINARY SIGNIFICANCE” I WANT YOU TO FEEL WHAT I SEE.....
