As a filmmaker, I believe that everyone can be irreversibly affected by witnessing the visual storytelling of a powerful film. It is not my goal to make every project revolutionary, though I take pride in finding the nuanced intricacies in everyday occurrences to expose to the viewer. As an artist, a filmmaker has the ability to cover such a great expanse of ground from abstract creation to brilliantly appointed capture of a moment in time. When I look at all of the other careers that cause people to simply repeat tasks that have become rote, I can’t help but feel a strong sense of affirmation in my choice to continue my love affair with filmmaking.
I am currently most drawn to capturing those rare moments in time where emotion lives strongest. I have recently discovered an affinity for light as a gateway through which a subject can be enhanced or modified. Music is an important source of inspiration that I have recently begun to employ as part of the storytelling process. I am interested in utilizing cutting-edge technology to photograph in a way that no one has in the past. I enjoy collaboration with other creative minds from other disciplines to combine our abilities in an effort to create something new and prolific.
For the past year, I have been studying the art of composition, and I find that it is a learned skill as much as an innate ability. I have been experimenting with more abstract techniques than most would find acceptable, but I find that some of the most conventionally- pleasing images arise from abstract means. While I have yet to define my own style, I am learning to appreciate how the style of others is carried over from project to project. It is my goal to continue to study film in an effort to find my own muses that will aid my quest for artful filmmaking, but until that day comes, I will enjoy the honor of working in one of most interesting career fields out there.
