Artist Statement: After more than 30 years of mainly editorial photography for national and international magazines, I am transitioning more and more into art photography. Art photography has given me the opportunity to explore new avenues without the constraints of assignment work. Although I look for the uniqueness in life while doing editorial assignments, art photography allows me to be even more creative and keeps me looking at life differently everyday. With art photography l am trying to find a balance between black & white and color photography. I welcome the challenges that lie ahead
