baby Maisie

I had the pleasure of photographing an adorable baby girl named Maisie.

dancing with the trees

We defaced a paperback copy of 'the hardy boys- the secret of the caves', fp. 1972, to make this collar and dance with the trees.

multiple clicks on the camera

It's so fascinating how so many images in a session look so similar yet they are different. Each click surely represents a moment in time.

dead and alive

The symbiotic relationship between dead roses and various cacti in the garden.

i made a little video

anthropomorphic ancestry video

As a video, Anthropomorphic Ancestry, unfolds as a layered, frequent repetition of thematic fragments and narrative, like a sonnet with an emotional pace and flow. Its 54 images seamlessly combine an archived mode of photography with its capacity for subtle observations, discreet use of theatrical staging and painterly poise of each character. Despite the fact that they are purely a series of photographs, they, just like 

the foxes present in them, seem to come to life as they become animated.

Don't be afraid, you have just got your eyes closed

she travelled to earth on the tail of a meteor

from the vernal equinox to the summer solstice

in and around the garden

race you to the sky and back
