Artist Statement
In the Illumination Series images, I am working with landscapes from perspectives which are only revealed through artificial lighting. All of the photographs in this series are composed with existing light from a single or simple light sources. The empty environments are illuminated by a light source that represents the human presence. I want the viewer to interact with these images of scenes that would normally go unnoticed. When the subject is removed from the context of its surroundings it is no longer a document of a specific place but rather an open-ended narrative that can be finished by the viewers' histories, experiences, and imaginations. Working in a digital environment allows me to build these images from their parts and construct a scene that illustrates a hyper-real presentation.
