“Nondescript landscapes are dramatized through careful composition and light balance.”

“The packed Costco parking lot, or brimming city park, is captured
after hours. Photos are shot after 12 a.m. to avoid having city activity crowd the frame. Usually a single ambient source provides the spotlight lighting for my pho- tographs. Harsh orange incandescent lights are cooled to match the night’s temperature in my photo’s post digital manipulation. Lampposts are erased to create a surreal atmosphere. The sky and background are blacked out as the spotlight coaxes focus to the middle ground.”
