I enjoy the challenge of creating emotion in portraits that are taken from behind. There are certain elements that have to be happening for this to be successful for me

I was drawn to the mans two-toned hair color and how the wind threw pieces to the wayside

Aesthetically I found it beautiful that his shoulders were squared and how that managed to fill and exist in the frame. It gives a feeling of confidence in his stance

For me this image is about a young man looking forward to a city of opportunity

For others it may mean something different and that's the beauty of art.

It doesn’t have to be about my meaning. In fact when I shot this I didn’t know the meaning yet. I just felt something, clicked the shutter and sometimes that's just how it goes

Meaning determined later or up for interpretation is always fine by me

Lost In Transit collection image

This is my legacy project - A decade of moments in the art of observing human beings commuting on The Staten Island Ferry

I find the journey via boat across the New York harbor to be a meditative break from the chaos of a hustling city.

Upon boarding, the vibration of the ferry’s engine is felt. You can hear the sound of the water slapping against the stern of the vessel as it departs. Walking along the deck, gazing past the horizon of the vast ocean can be calm and humbling.

What I’m finding through making these photographs is that I am not the only one lost in myself. These portraits are no more an outward look at others as they are an inward look at my own psyche

//

I will be dropping 20 Images at a time and will only release the next batch of 20 upon sell out

There will be 5 rounds total equaling 100 images in the final collection

I was granted the award "SONY Emerging Photographer of the Year" and have been featured in Photo District News and CNN for this project
