Surrealism exists somewhere between reality and dreams.

Parallels are both transfixing and utterly surreal. Surrealist works are ethereal; it demonstrates an appreciation for nature, eccentric characters and discarded objects.

The belief that there is an enigmatic and mystifying place that every person that has ever lived has visited is superior to the confinements of reality.

The realm of our dreams is one with which we are all familiar. When we confuse our dreams with actuality, there is a reason for it. Like the spaces in between the silence.

In photography, you can not see like me and I can not see like you. My work is a combination of my own feelings, surrealism and a deep relationship between myself and my images.

I find more freedom to work with surrealism in street photography as it gives me the most satisfaction. I love finding surrealism through my images. I feel this is the best way to connect with my viewers.
