Artist Statement
Using the unique perspective that aerial photography offers, I strive towards creating one of a kind photographs. Working 300 to 1,200 feet in the air, hanging out of an doorless helicopter going 80 miles an hour, you have to react fast to the changing landscape.
It is in this high stress environment I become hyper focused and work to take full advantage of the sheer enormity of the space beneath me.
From this vantage point the world becomes a living canvas and in its own way starts to tell its stories. Ordinary activities take on extraordinary meaning and shapes. It’s through my photographs that I hope to reveal the mood and stories within and I like to think it will cause the viewer to pause and reflect.
