LOCAL HUMAN AND NATURAL INSPIRATIONS He says that “emotions, spontaneity, and nature” drive his use of color. Currently living by the sea, he incorporates water, boats, and the beach into a lot of his photos. His subjects look athletic and pose with sports and outdoor props: boxing gloves, boats, life preservers. Most of his photographs appear to be taken outside, except for a few where boys pose with pillows or blankets. Asked to describe his style, he answered, “My photography is experimental and readily embodies an all-embracing artistic approach. It’s refreshing, with colors that draw the viewer’s attention to the concept being depicted and also aids in symbolism and its respective interpretation.” He has an endless list of favorite photographers, “Notable among them are Mark Rothko, Yoan Capote, Berhanu Merikokeb, Serge Clottey, just to mention a few.” He finds natural inspiration in seeing their works and also takes artistic ideas from what he sees in the world around him.
