Lana Del Rey - West Coast

There is something about Lana  Del Rey that gives me the confidence to be as fucked up as a bad acid trip.

The Art of Me


Who am I? At any given moment I am the photographer of Souls.



There comes a time when your life transmutes itself.
For me it was the expression of the world within my mind
that moment when you realize you have come to the crossroads of your true being. Each day a snap shot of a passing stranger, the light, the dark and the void of everyday living.  I am an artist of sorts, fused with the words and hues of the world around me.

 I have been shooting street life and everyday musings for the past 7 years. There is something incredible about one's voice being reflected through photographs or any kind of medium for that matter.  When you use yourself as the center of that medium to convey an idea, it brings your vulnerability to the forefront and that for me is the essence of the artist expression. 

In the past I have felt conflicted with what I thought was the appropriate way to express myself, because for me my art was a world that I skewed and bend to my own liking. I wanted the ability and the freedom of choice, to emote  understanding or angst through the images or words I created. Solely this was my objective. After years with the battle of what is politically correct in art, I have come to the pleasant realization that art is not a slave to one standard way of expression.


I have studied and modeled at F.I.T.  Shot for GO magazine, SCOPE and experimented with conceptual photography.My body of work stems from my desire to say something, the need to leave behind fragments of who I am and how I perceive my immediate surroundings.
