My focus on creating photographic images is to evoke a call and response. Creating a connection with my subjects, and collectors alike. My goal is to craft an honest human portrait and thought-provoking fine Art images. My photographic journey started in Boston, Massachusetts in the mid-1980s. My initial focus was on Black American Racial Inequality. Being a child of Forced Bussing gave me a lot of subject matter to live with and visually share my personal story. It was essential to focus on "The Black Experience" I transitioned to traditional structured portrait photography to tell a new story, in addition to creating fine art portraiture.
