Color Fields

Color fields are photography made up with multiples of similar objects.

It is my belief that life celebrates diversity, and I intend to show this through photography — that the visual interests stem from the differences and individualities of each object.

Similarly, I believe the world would be a bland and boring place to live in if we were all clones of one another. The future of humanity lies not in raging wars against those who are different than ourselves, but in our ability to accept and appreciate our differences from one another.

Kisses in black and white

Kiss = Love + Affection + Compatibility

Kiss is an active project of mine. I have been working on it since 2007. I rarely photograph in the studio, so most of these were taken in real life, usually during events were I happened to be photographing.

I usually try to get permission after spotted the love birds in their acts. The photos were shot after I gained permission, but as love is in the air, they generally came out fairly natural as they could care less about whether or not a camera was pointing to them or not! (This is true even for my own self portrait with MMF!)

See the whole set on Flickr.

5. Kiss between friends. It's a friendly kiss as the guy is gay and the girl is straight, but they came out just as sweet.



6. Kiss: SML + MMF. Self-portrait. See also SML Photo Blog: Taking the umbrella outside of the studio.
