Creative Photography Artist in Palm Springs, creating surreal and conceptual photographic images using modern projection mapping techniques in otherwise traditional studio-based fine art photography sessions. Storytelling through expressionism and abstracted reality allows for layered meanings and contextual depth even in still photography. We can open windows into the minds of subjects, or lift the veil of normalcy and reveal the true nature of their surroundings. Using projection instead of multi-exposure or digital compositing is a superior technique because it creates a live optical illusion and transforms the physical space of the studio. We can see in real time what the photo is going to look like. This enables subjects who are not trained actors or models to give compelling "performances" because they are actually reacting naturally to the visual environment we've created. Using projection mapping tech makes it possible to involve the subject in the creative process with on-the-fly collaboration, developing and refining the visual concepts between each shutter release.
