Biography

I am a self-taught photographer perpetually learning every time I pick up the camera. Currently, ArtRage is mastering skills in photo retouching and manipulation. I am currently attending The Art Institute of Pittsburg as a Digital Design major. I enjoy capturing images that are typically not seen, that which is walked past by all of us everyday, but not often noticed to any real degree. I started ArtRage Photography in Jan 2007, formally Karma and Effect Photography. I seek the best clients, and individuals dedicated to the importance of an investment in the art of professional photography. I offer photo shoots of all kinds. I currently offer: Wedding/Prom/Event, Sport Action Photos, Portraits, Group and Individual photo shoots, Headshots. Please contact me for rates and bookings.

Statements

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

Styles

I simply let my images speak for themselves. If you like my style, let's get to know each other better.

Creative Tools Used

Fugi S8000fd; Nikon D40, Photoshop, Corel Paint Pro X2, Jasc Paint Pro 9, PhotoImpact X3, DreamLight Photo Editor,Corel Media One, Ultimate Paint, Perfect Photos, Allume, PhotoDream Photo Editor, Adobe Creative Suite (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign.

Techniques

I like to use the elements around us for photoshoots. I don't have extra lights, equipment, etc. It is me and a camera. I'm trying to find my own unique style and signature for my photography. I see the world in photographs- everywhere I turn I see art.
