I create images that celebrate the physical strength and elegance of the human form by freezing nearly imperceptible moments in time. My subjects are from a variety of athletic backgrounds from dancers and personal trainers to conventional North American sports participants.  I use vantage points and multiple light sources that clearly define the line of the athletes form and accentuates their musculature. The lighting also separates the body from the background, keeping our attention on the person at play. The color saturation is reduced to further abstract the subjects from reality and keep attention on their form.  A square crop is used to keep attention off the landscape or environment and keep it on the figure.

As an avid runner, skier, skater and cyclist, I appreciate the energy of exercise and fitness. Whether it’s the determination of a solitary swimmer or the visual concert of a hundred racing bicyclists, my photographs relay the action, motion, and impact of activity, as well as the health, strength, and vitality of the people who practice it.
