A Roller Coaster of Light

• Artist Statement

  I was working on photographing motion and had a number of photographs of people jumping, biking and playing sports. However, I wanted to move beyond this direct concept and try to capture light in motion. Simple items, like a flashlight and a dark bedroom, combined with multiple instructions to my younger brother (and patience!) allowed me to get this roller coaster effect.

• Creative Statement

  I would define creativity as coloring outside the lines. Taking risks and avoiding overly staged photographs is important to me.
