Photography has always been about documentary, the depiction of the instant, a moment, sometimes a place. Each project is somehow an experimentation of a specific context or a character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reason I call myself a documentary photographer is the idea of how photographs contain and participate in history.
The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth.
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
I always saw photography as a way to get to film.
I've always thought photography is not so much of an art form but a way of communicating and passing on information.
Photography is a hobby born out of my time in undergrad at USC. It is more of a pleasurable hobby, a stress reliever. I don't consider it a professional endeavor like acting or directing.
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
