BLOG: Portraits from Inside Out

I am a traditional photographer who loves the art of capturing moments. I grew up admiring the photojournalism of Look and Life magazines, which showcased the world in vivid images. I was fascinated by the creative experiments of Andy Warhol and his factory in the 60s.

A photo can capture a story in an instant, unlike a video that requires time and attention. In this era of video, the value of a photo is not diminished, but rather enhanced.
