“My recent photos are all completely allegorical. Everything is there for a reason. The objects or people in the photo and how they are positioned, it all has meaning. I’m really influenced by the Renaissance including artists such as Caravaggio, which has inspired my pallet, and the tonal composition of my photos.”
