My art has always evolved around stories. Whether it is writing, practicing filmmaking and photography, or playing my instrument, I have enjoyed finding the stories in everything I do as well as telling them to others. The Performer has become a favorite of mine to tell.
I enjoy observing musicians in their creative space. My work is inspired by the personalities of those I portray and their commitment towards advancing and promoting the love of music to the minds of the future. The Performer features a lone trombonist photographed in black and white and playing to an empty recital hall. The absence of color and spectator from the picture is meant to symbolize his belief in the importance of Classical Performance, as well as the belief that one should play first and foremost for the love of music, and not for its glory
