Introduction: I enjoy working with available light whenever possible and that means working with shadows as well. While it is important to seek a balance between light and shadow, it is equally as important to not fear tipping the balance from time to time. Knowing when, how, and how much to tip that balance is what makes a Photographer, a great Photographer.
I love photography for some of the same reasons that I love theater-- I love to be apart of the production from conception to completion. Weddings, with all of their traditions, protocol, rituals, costumes, and heightened emotions (I have yet to shoot a wedding with a dry eye) in many ways mirrors a theatrical production with the exception of it being a one night only event.
