Hiding Under the Sun

There are parallels between life and photography.

Everything is about the right timing.

Finding that perfect moment in time where everything lines up to create a perfect frame.

Sometimes these moments might not be visible at first sight, but once you open your mind to new ways of perceiving things the gates of a whole new world open in front of you.

"Hidden Under the Sun" depicts that shift in perspective, whereby intentionally using the extremely sharp shadows cast by the colonial architecture in the Gulf of Mexico, light and dark support each other to subtract elements and frame them with fleeting geometric patterns that shift intensity, form, and shape as time passes by.
