Capture Culture Films

I envision myself not as a photographer, more so a medium of photography. It is far more to me than a photograph, my subject the canvas, the camera my paint brush. To me it's capturing life, documenting moments that can never be recreated.

One might say that the same picture can be reshot, restaged, and maybe it can? However, the connection at that very moment that the shutter snaps, cannot be recreated. That one moment capturing that ever so brief unique feeling, no distractions, just the artist and his subject. It is that alone that can never be recreated, restaged, or reshot. It is in that moment, right before hitting the shutter I feel so deeply connected with my subjects. That connection is so special to me.

For me, it is knowing that moment can live forever. What is captured in that photograph for me, is a conversation that my subject gets to share with a loved one. A memory that they get to relive over, and over again.

With every shoot, no matter what the subject may be, I have the unique honor of getting to absorb everything about it. Every image brings me back to that moment. . ..

Have you ever had the pleasure of seeing someone look at a photograph and watch as they get a rush of memories from that moment, getting to RELIVE (not reliving) the connection with that person in the picture, or reminisce about the location where that moment was captured. . . maybe even a certain fragrance that was in the air can be brought back from that picture! It is this, that I am able to do with my love of photography.

This is my medium!
