I am my happiest and my soul sings
when I become one with my camera and we see the world together.
I've been a professional photographer since 2004 when I opened the doors to my studio - Architectural Design Photography (adpimages). Until 2009, I specialized in architectural photography, but it wasn't enough - I needed to embrace my creative side. I started traveling to amazing places around the world shooting the beautiful, abstract and everything in between. Each place I travel has its own feel, its own energy, its own flow. At first I like to stand still and watch, but soon my camera starts begging me to capture all that I feel and see!
When I return to my studio and look at each picture - they all tell stories and represent memories I hope to never forget. Being a graphic artist, I love transforming my images into unique pieces that represent what I felt when taking the picture.
The birth of the Altered States Collection
In 2015 taking pictures just didn't seem like enough. I wanted a style that was all my own. As hard as it was, I put my camera down (except when I was traveling!) and started working on creating something different... unique... truly mine and mine alone. Finally, in 2017 during the stressful time of moving to Utah, I needed a break from packing and decided to let the graphic designer in me out to play. I started twisting and turning my images until a whole new picture emerged... it's Altered State. In doing so, I finally found MY Altered State! Each piece is so unique that even I can't recreate it.
In many pictures, if you look close, you will find hints of the original image or special little "jewels" I left in for fun.
I hope you enjoy the images as much as I do. Many look at the images and give it their interpretation - there's no right answer... it is whatever you see!!
