My approach is strongly influenced by my heavily design-focused day job. As a user experience professional, I make user interfaces for products for technical audiences. In photography, I allow my eyes to wander and my mind to process inputs in less linear ways. I love creating worlds that tell a story or evoke a feeling. The feeling of a dream or a particular mood. Every piece follows design principles and is representative of my sense for aesthetics. I am drawn to positive and negative space, form, color, contrast, size and scale.
In this project, my desire is to evoke the feeling of nostalgia in you. You visit your childhood home and are talking a walk past your old stomping grounds, and you come by an abandoned home where your best friend’s family once lived many years ago, in a time long gone, and you stumble upon a left-over doll head in the backyard, sitting in an old Ford wheel, peering at the world.
