Find the one thing you’re good at and FOCUS on it.

I want to allow others to reveal and celebrate aspects of themselves that are usually hidden. My camera is a witness. It holds a light up for my subjects to help them feel their own essence, and gives them the courage to collaborate in the recording of these revelations.

I love feeling that I am opening new worlds for people who don't have time to investigate these things themselves.

Have the utmost respect for your subjects. Love them.

I have the same themes over and over again. How I'm saying it keeps changing or growing.

The people I work with, the people I photograph, become a kind of family for me.

I have always been fascinated by the life cycle, the way skin metamorphoses over time. I am mesmerized by skin and that's why I've been attracted to the nude. I do think people show their soul when they are stripped down psychically. There is something wondrous that happens when we relate on that level - and I am interested in that depth.
