Let's Dance

Humans gather; they dance, we talk and some look. Come See!

I'm a San Francisco fine art photographer. As an artist, I put heart in my images for myself and my clients. I make my images iconic at least and at most, forever memorable to collectors, galleries, museums and the global community . The images I make are cinematic for a reason, My spirit and soul have been given the gift of seeing and discovering isolation in myself, persons in themselves, in groups and still life subjects. Isolation though can grow into community and serving others. I see how immigration can be isolating.I will lean into finding a place that shows an abstract in our world and show a form of isolation. My images can bring our humanity of the new and old into the future, the present and the past.

My time tagging along with my father in the restaurants led to experiences with the immigrant community and fascination of chefs preparing the food and the waiters who really are in service to the community. Restaurant are the thermometer and temperature of economies and thriving communities. After several years of shooting as a teenager, I realized my passion was the photographic arts, so I received my photography degree and that was the start of my career in creating cinematic or abstract and ionic photographic images.

My philosophy:

I believe, we as human beings are given gifts to use in serving one another in love care for each other and foremost it's our first priority.

  • * I believe you have a "Voice" and my images' purpose is to "stand out from the noise".
  • * I believe the images I create for you should have heart.
  • * I believe sometimes images should have humor.
  • * I have a servant's heart for my clients and I strive for excellence. Therefore, I will go to the ends of the earth. (Yes, I like to travel!)
  • * I believe we can have fun while at work, so I'm not stuffy.
  • * I work with an all consuming passion to provide "Stand alone" images and I can't imagine doing anything less.
  • A few things I like:
  • * I love beauty in nature, in art and in the heart
  • * I like simple abstract environments
  • * I like Arnold Newman, Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier,Ruth Bernhard, Ernst Haas, the Westons, and many more...
