Live Loud

This series of portraits is an ongoing documentation of Portland's young and lively with an emphasis on location. Each subject was photographed in the environment in which they felt most at ease; in their natural surroundings. Incorporating this component of the subject's chosen surroundings into the photograph helps to express an aspect of their personality.

My Point of View

Having spent years travelling in Alaska, India, Nepal, Germany, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and El Salvador, my exposure to so many cultures has aided in the formation of my photographic perspective and vision. I am fascinated by the universal forms of expression found in a subject's face combined with the undeniable individuality found in one's eyes. When I photograph a person, I try to capture what I see in their eyes--their innermost self.
