WPPI Awards

Last week I was honored to participate in the WPPI Wedding and Portrait Photographer’s International Print Competition. It was an unbelievable week of friendship, fun, learning, print competition and so much more. Thanks to my wife Marianna and my kids, Noah, Nicholas, Jacob and Andrew for their patience and support! Thanks to David Edmonson, Luke Edmonson, Richard Sturdavent for your guidance and mentorship and a big thanks to Alter Van Duren for his “persuasion” on entering competition! Thanks to BWC labs for being so good to me with all my competition prints! I can’t wait to see what this year looks like on camera!

Later this week I will be posting the 22 images that were included in the show!

Image + Illustration

One of the things I enjoy as a source of decompression and personal creativity in my life is digital illustration. I am a terrible failure as a painter and gave it up quite some time ago in college, but the desire to take an image beyond the expected and into the confines of the heart still drives me. Classic Dutch painters like Rembrandt and twentieth-century American painters such as Maxfield Parrish and Andrew Wyeth are a few of my classic influences. Combining those influences with modern-day culture and trends in the area of advertising, commercial photography and photojournalism where I have at much of my professional experience has equipped me with the influences and ability to achieve some of my personal creative goals as an artist. One of my favorite quotes is from Andrew Wyeth, “I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it… I always want to see the third dimension of something… I want to come alive with the object.” For me, I think he is addressing the physical environment of texture and dimension which, in the digital age, is something I continually make an effort to maintain. From time to time I will be posting images in the category of “Personal Creative Work” to share with you my personal projects for everyone to enjoy and comment on.
