Abstract nominee

My goal with my up-close & personal urban decay shots is: How do I make the old, ugly, and the discarded look beautiful, strong, and colorful again? And why do I see faces everywhere I look? Who is always watching me? Are they spirits or other worldly beings like the supernatural? Or did the people who originally make these objects – like the steel dumpster, the asphalt parking lot, the metal sign, the billboard poster, or even the graffiti tag – transfer their energy source somehow someway into these original objects, and then all of these different human energy sources in all of these different original objects (which have been decaying away on top of each other for years or decades at a time) are now forming into a brand new source of energy / life and that is what we see instead? And how do I properly capture these *new beings* in their true essence, full of color & full of life?

All the above photographs were shot & edited with an iPhone 6 Plus camera.

I went from Hollywood Villain to International Winning Abstract Photographer

Always attracted to the darker side of life, I quickly found my passion for playing the antagonist and villain. I have performed in over 45 indie feature films, including Hick, starring Oscar Winner Eddie Redmayne. I also worked on two art exhibition films by world-renowned contemporary artist Paul McCarthy, CSSC and DADDA, funded by Hauser & Wirth.

I then picked up the camera to invent a new style of conceptual abstract photography. This style explores the fine line between the life and death of objects, then death and decay, and now, a rebirth (aka spirits or otherworldly beings like the supernatural). I specialize in creating photographic abstracts from decaying man-made objects and have won fifteen awards from the top photography contests in the world.

My mission is to reveal to the world that even in death and decay, there is still beauty and a new source of energy or life that wants to be born into this world, just in another way. We just need to look at it from a different light, a different perspective – just like how a caterpillar dramatically transforms into a butterfly!
