Archival Print on Fine Art Paper

In my photographs, the viewer first sees the realistic subject. Through further examination, the abstract elements of the image force the viewer to experience the duality of the subject matter. I attempt to use his camera to provide a view of the subject on a second aesthetic level as a realistic expression and as an abstract expression. By using both natural and manipulated use of texture and color, I want to convey a multi-layered image to the viewer.
