HABITATS

Habitats began in 2004. In this series of digital photographs I explore the lives and personalities of my sitters through elaborate orchestrations of the possessions and spaces that make up their everyday environment. I employ centuries old compositional devices and my theatrically conceived portraits transcend the familiar personal belongings and spaces they depict, casting my subjects as both intimately vulnerable and heroic.
