Artist Statement

My photographs have opened me to a multitude of dimensions. I consider my photography practice a spiritual practice. It connects me to the core of the Universe and the core of my being. My process is much like a ritual or meditation, one that is intuitive and allows me to capture an indelible energetic signature of the world around me. These photographs are a conduit that channels intuitive wisdom and wonder. People rarely appear in my personal pictures. I choose to leave that space for the viewer. I want you to enter the image, imagining yourself there, feeling as I did when making the photograph, that sense of connection to a vast source of unlimited energy.

Vertical Sync.

Another journey of light. The first image in this series, The Ascension of Dumont Dune, represents the ideal journey of one; this image represents the perfect journey of two. Two lights revolve around each other in a playful dance toward the heavens as though Kundalini is rising. There is a third pulsating light between them that symbolizes the complete sync between them. Together we rise.

Attune.

A single gesture drawn with light. Part signal, part surrender. The land waits. The sky listens. And for a brief moment, everything aligns.

Collect

Genesis.

When Light (frequency) met Sound (vibration) in neutrality, form was created.

Collect

A Light Whisper.

In the hush of blue hour, a silent gesture moves through the tree. A thread of light, barely spoken, barely there. A question without urgency. A presence without weight.

Collect

Emergence.

Light waits gently. This stone holds the memory of fire, the slow breath of something once molten, giving rise to the rich earth above.

Collect

Going Within.

The path isn’t always visible, a thread of light traced by presence, a movement through shadow. In entering the unknown, you carry an eternal glow.

Collect

The Torus of Jupiter.

A bright southern light drew me to the water’s edge. Jupiter, casting its gifts of abundance, faith, and discovery across the night. Hidden in the photograph, a torus emerged, a quiet magnetic field holding all it promises. Yours, mine, ours.

Collect

Apex Echoe.

Between day and night, the mountain holds a borrowed light, an echo carried peak to peak. In this stillness, time extends, and the sun lingers on beyond the present moment, blending into the future.

FAQ's

What are the edition sizes, and how does the Certificate of Authenticity work?

Each photograph is available in three limited edition sizes:

  • 120 x 80 cm (Edition of 5)
  • 80 x 120 cm (Edition of 10)
  • 50 x 75 cm (Edition of 20)

In addition, a smaller 40 x 60 cm open edition is offered, individually numbered but not limited in quantity.

All prints include a discreet digital signature in the lower right corner and come with a blockchain-registered Certificate of Authenticity issued by Verisart. The edition number is recorded on the certificate and cannot be selected in advance. Once an edition sells out, no additional prints of that size will be made. These limitations help preserve the uniqueness of each piece and offer collectors a deeper connection to the work.

What materials and production methods are used for your prints?

Each print is produced by WhiteWall to the highest archival standards. The images are printed on Fuji Crystal Pearl paper, chosen for its luminous depth and subtle metallic shimmer. This premium photochemical paper enhances white tones with a soft glow, renders rich, vibrant colors, and maintains deep black tones — all while offering an archival lifespan of up to 75 years.

To preserve and elevate the image, the print is mounted on a 3mm aluminum Dibond backing, ensuring perfect flatness and durability. A 6mm shatterproof acrylic glass face is then applied, adding protection and creating a striking three-dimensional effect. The final piece is not framed but arrives ready to hang, with the option for professional framing should you wish to add one.

Please note that while I’ve worked closely with WhiteWall to ensure each print matches my approved test print, colors may appear slightly different from what you see on your screen, depending on your device. That said, I have great confidence in the consistency and precision of this production process.

Where do you ship, and how long does it take?

We currently ship to North America, Europe, and selected countries across Asia, South America, Africa, and the Middle East, including Argentina, Australia, Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, and the UAE.
Shipping is free worldwide.

Please allow up to 12 business days for delivery within North America and Europe, and up to 16 business days for shipments to other regions. Once your print is ready and shipped, you’ll receive an email with tracking information and an estimated delivery date. At this time, express shipping or courier selection is not available, but all orders are processed efficiently through our trusted logistics partners.

Can I change or cancel my order after it’s placed?

Because each print is made to order and begins production shortly after purchase, changes or cancellations are not possible once your order is submitted. However, if you need to update your shipping address, we can accommodate this as long as the order has not yet shipped and the new address is within the same country. Please contact us promptly via the contact details provided on this site.

What happens if my order arrives damaged?

Despite extensive and secure packaging, unforeseen circumstances can lead to orders being damaged during transit. We recommend accepting the shipment during delivery even if there is identifiable damage to the packaging.

Please take photos of the damage and then contact our customer service team at your earliest convenience with the pictures of the damage. Accepting the shipment and taking photos will help us expedite the process of resolving the issue and arranging for a replacement. If you refuse the shipment, we will have to wait for the order to be returned to us before we can start to arrange the replacement.

Our team will review your case promptly and work towards providing a suitable solution. Our priority is to ensure your satisfaction, and we are committed to addressing any shipping-related concerns efficiently. By following these steps and providing the necessary documentation, we will be able to assist you in resolving any issues with your order in a timely manner.

Why did my order end up in a pick-up location instead of the delivery address?

Orders can end up in pick-up locations when the conditions to ensure a safe delivery are not met. This alternative delivery option is organized by the transporter to minimize the risks of theft, loss, or damage to your shipment. This is generally done after a failed delivery attempt to the initial shipping address.

I cannot redeem my gift certificate or voucher. What should I do?

If you’re having trouble redeeming your gift certificate or voucher, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll review the situation and provide the appropriate guidance.

Important: Once an order has been placed, we cannot apply a gift certificate or voucher code retroactively. This also applies to refunds, meaning we cannot offer a partial refund if a voucher was missed or didn’t work during checkout.

To ensure a smooth ordering experience, please reach out to us via telephone or e-mail before placing your order for assistance.

How do payments work, and can I send a print as a gift?

All orders are securely processed through Shopify Payments, which accepts all major credit cards. Your payment information is encrypted and handled directly by Shopify’s secure system — your credit card details are never seen, stored, or accessible by me or anyone else.

If you prefer to spread out your purchase, installment payments may be available through Shop Pay, depending on your location and eligibility.

At this time, I’m still determining how to best handle sales tax, particularly for international orders. Since prints are produced in Germany and shipped globally, any applicable duties or taxes may be calculated at checkout or charged by the carrier upon delivery, depending on your country’s import policies.

Prints can absolutely be purchased as a gift. Simply enter the recipient’s name and shipping address at checkout, and then send me an email noting that it’s a gift. I’ll make sure the Certificate of Authenticity is sent directly to the recipient, honoring the intent behind your gesture.

Do you work with interior designers or art consultants?

Yes! I welcome collaborations with interior designers, art consultants, and design professionals. If you're considering my work for a project or client, please reach out prior to placing an order. I’m happy to offer a trade discount and discuss any specific needs related to scale, curation, or delivery.

Do you license your photographs for other uses?

It may be possible to license certain images for editorial, commercial, or other creative uses. Please reach out directly via phone or email, as listed on the contact page, to begin a conversation.
