After 7 years of training, and a 3 year hiatus, I have finally returned to my photographic roots. These grainy, closely cropped images are visual interpretations of the feelings that are swirling within me. Known for my "dirty" portraits, I feel that using high contrast grainy films and filters, along with selective focus, perfectly express my artistic expression and point of view. For me, shooting only the face speaks louder than the whole figure ever could. The beginning of this series attempts to define the commonly used phrase: "The eyes are the window to the soul." When words fail, our eyes do all the talking.
This series is whole-heartedly dedicated to GRW.
