Brighten

A combination between modern architecture and the sweet display of showing a fetish in a world apparently modernizing in the face of prejudice. After darkness and transition, light and color arrive. This project is an evolution that comes out of my series "Exposure".

Self-portrait project.

Limited Edition Prints

​​​​​​​Check out my limited edition print selection. Each print is personally inspected to meet a museum quality standard. Images are printed on a thick, fiber-based paper with a hand-crafted texture and professional finish, meticulously selected to further enhance the tonal range and dimensionality present in my work. Using archival printing materials, I do my best to ensure the longevity of the artwork as well as its imprint on the world.
