Connection is an important aspect of who we are and this is represented by Figurative Arc’s logo. It depicts a mythological contest where Heracles was able to defeat the titan Antaeus by lifting him off the ground. This broke the connection that gave Antaeus his strength: mother earth. This story reminds us that when we lose important connections in our lives, we are lost. My photography is about connections: whether that’s done using the human body to explore our relationship with it and our surroundings, or showing how a place can change your thinking. These connections reveal my artistic mission: to showcase the masterpieces we are. Please read on to learn more about my work.
Male nude photography allows me to investigate how we see ourselves as men. You can explore the masculine journey with one of my ebooks of original poetry and photography. This includes my latest one, The Mountains Are Calling. If you are comfortable viewing artistic nudes, you can see examples of my work and find links to available publications by visiting the figurative photography page. To see examples of how images of different places lead to transformation, check out my world photography page.
I’m also a poet, painter and experimental filmmaker. While the focus of this website is photography, you can check out some of my short films on my Vimeo channel and discussions about how the creative process can benefit our daily lives on my YouTube Channel.
