Harvesting light and bringing it home.

My work as a fine art photographer revolves around the alternative process of recording infrared light. Drawing on my background as an optical system engineer with experience in laser satellite communications and cardiac imaging, I aim to capture a sophisticated beauty and visual surprise in my images. Through my lifelong spiritual practice as a Buddhist, I find inspiration in the qualities of clarity, stillness, and inner strength, which I strive to convey in my compositions through a sense of calm and 'otherworldly-ness' achieved by the shifted tonalities inherent in infrared imaging. As an engineer who communicates information graphically, I am drawn to the encoded meaning found in graphics and fascinated by the repeating patterns in nature at various scales, from branching arteries to ancient trees. My work seeks to make poetry from the evidence, as Arthur Miller once said, and invites viewers to experience a visual journey that transcends the boundaries of traditional photography.
