Most Interesting Assignment or Previous Occupation?

I am an award winning motion picture director / still photographer with 35 years’ experience in photographic arts. I dealt 17th Century Old Master Dutch Portrait Paintings for the past 20 years. “Through A Photographer's Eye” combines these two creative careers into a unique form of Wildlife Portrait Photography and Printing.

Project Statement

I am drawn to the beauty and spirit of endangered wild animals in Africa and I strive to capture each creature’s individuality. My subjects are so aristocratic that their tones and colors in Through A Photographer's Eye are never added, merely enhanced. My work is a mixture of wildlife, lyricism and portraiture. I create images imbued with a mysterious sense of space and time depicted in strange and mysterious ways typical of Surrealism to offer a glimpse into their soul.
