Artist Statement
These photographs are a selection from a series I shot while traveling in 2008 and explore the provocative nature of youth culture and it’s relationship to their social environment. In particular these are portraits from South Korea, Mexico, Argentina and the United States, and they all reflect my interest in youth cultures and how they’re influenced by the environment on a global scale. Furthermore, there’s much to be said about a single portrait. Beyond personality I try to evoke issues of the community. Reflections of where they’re living and what they’re doing. And how they’re living and growing in the context of their environment.
Like these selects, my commercial and personal work both exhibit a documentary style that is at times quiet and serene and other times vibrant and energetic. Decisions on how to shoot are influenced entirely by the subject, many of whom I introduce myself to with no pretext. It is within this context that I enable myself to create intensely personal work, as it is customary that I get to know the subject somewhat, even if I get only a few minutes with them.

Making Visible the Invisible
New York City is a raw, unbridled and unique symphonic and polyrhythmic sonic landscape, but WHAT DOES THE NEW YORK CITY SOUNDSCAPE LOOK LIKE? Hit us with your best shot and your photo could become a significant part of a city-wide photographic collaboration this August 2010 at The Greene Space.
WNYC's The Greene Space is the place for the Battle of the Boroughs, a showdown series designed to bring out the best undiscovered bands and ensembles of all genres, instrumentalists, singers, DJs, spoken word artists and performance artists in the five boroughs. Several acts from each borough were selected to perform and compete to represent their borough in the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs, where one act will win a concert in The Greene Space.
