At the heart of my work lies a dedication to storytelling, a pursuit to encapsulate the essence of each moment and weave it into a visual narrative. To achieve this, I employ an array of methods, ranging from traditional photography to subtle digital enhancements. Among these, AI-generated images play a modest role, providing a supplementary tool for creating nuanced backgrounds behind my subjects.
It's important to underscore that AI is merely one facet of my artistic toolkit, alongside collage and the manipulation of my original photography. These elements converge to construct the foundation of my compositions, each layer contributing to the richness of the narrative.
In my submission to LensCulture, AI is integrated into my process, albeit in a supportive capacity, accentuating my artistic vision while preserving the authenticity of my original intent.
Moreover, my artistic journey extends beyond digital realms, culminating in the tactile realm of encaustic painting. Here, each piece is adorned with layers of wax, bestowing a tangible presence that transcends the digital domain.
