Over the past few years my work has dealt with architectural structure as form. By turning them into aesthetic objects, I am separating them from the original intention of the structures. My photos explore their intended purposes, materials, and what traditionally makes a structure visually attractive to viewers.

Rather than drawing on the long history of traditional architectural photography, I instead align myself with artists such as Josef Schulz and Andreas Gursky. Their technical equation allows for closer inspection. Having this detail is important, I use large format cameras to capture large amounts of detail in my photographs, and then using digital means I reproduce my images on a larger scale.

I photograph buildings in such a manner that it creates a distinct and instantaneous visual stimulation when viewed. Much thought and observation goes into the selection of specific structures for these works, to create echoing similarities that resonate visually throughout the images. Though these images have this echoing visual quality, they also are each very independently successful.

Currently, I have expanded my work to include a new series, where I am deconstructing architectural structures in the computer. I turn these once functioning buildings into simplified forms that serve no practical purpose.

I have become fascinated with this, I believe that in creating this separation, it removes almost all meaning to the structure in question, and therefore it eliminates all ideals related to the purpose of the building in question. I combine these separations with simple grey tones to assist in the separation of the building from its ideals and purposes.
