Fantasy/Horror

Food is delicious and journalism inspires me, but there is nothing I love more photographing fantasy and horror. I want to make the surreal, real, if just for a fraction of a second as the shutter clicks in my hands.

I fell in love with science fiction, fantasy and horror when I was young, and devoted myself to being a writer in those genres. When I discovered photography, it seemed natural that what I’d photograph were fantasy stories – from the weird to the terrifying. I love to create monsters and heroes, alien landscapes and fantasy worlds.
