i love people.
i love faces.
i love the stories they tell.


how they’ve been...
where they’re from...
where they’ve been...
what they admire...
how they’re loved...

 

some are long open dialogs...
some are just the split second of an adjective.

 

Every expression they give is honest and powerful.
Much more than the words we speak.
And there is beauty in every emotion.

 

My purpose is to capture and interpret their ‘faces’
and bring out their “real”, and sometime hidden inner beauty.
