I am a self taught surreal photographer born and raised on Detroit's west side. I have been shooting for over 10 years and exhibiting my work for about 2 years. I use surreal images to express myself and create a narrative for viewers to follow. In the words of local art examiner Alonso Del Arte "Portraits form the strongest part of His portfolio, as he puts his technical skill in the service of an almost ethereal metaphysical expressiveness," "The most meticulous craftsman of the camera in Detroit might also be the youngest."

He carries the discipline and precision he learned in the dark room into his current digital work, favoring previsualization, optical illusion, and sleight of hand over image manipulation in post. I always says "If I can't do it in the dark room I won't do it in photoshop."

"My only goal in life is to share my vision with the world. There is beauty in every moment and I was born to capture it. What is the point of beauty if it is bound by mortality? Life is fleeting, I've been dying since the day I was born. Humans, plants, buildings, everything ends, everything dies. I photograph to cheat death, to immortalize a moment in time." -
