The Fear of Expression

I feel like many people in our society are afraid to be themselves.  Sometime it can be difficult to express who you want to be without others judging you for your creative and uniqueness.  The one thing about photography I truly admire, is there are no limits and the creativity is endless.   

When I photographed Amy, it was not about the camera, it was not about the results, it was about being able to connect with someone who shared similar interests and had the same goal, to create sometime unique and powerful. One of my goals is to photograph people to show who they truly are on the inside and help express their personality through images.

Jay

Sometimes it only takes 10 minutes of shooting to capture the whole day.  I carried the camera around all day and did not shoot because of the low light conditions.  Once we found this cliff at Jay, I knew I needed to pull out the camera.
