Photography
"There is nothing more revealing than movement." - Martha Graham
As a child, I can recall being extremely fascinated by human behavior and movement. I obsessed over the way people expressed their emotions through their being; in the way they communicated using body language, facial expression, tone of voice, rhythm in breathing. Somehow all this always occupied my mind. I would recall vividly the way people moved more than their names. I found it amusing and somewhat moving to see how people presented themselves to the world and to one another.
Years later in my adult life, I studied choreography at New York University where I discovered in great detail how people occupy space and move in time. It was an inspiring experience to be able to create movement from nothing. My love for photography began after meeting a good friend who taught me how to carefully look at the subtle details of an image and to see with a child's eye the story it tells. I have since then taken his advice and have enjoyed taking photographs that invite the viewer into a moment captured in time. |
