At the National Gallery in London I was inspired to try to recreate some of the feeling inherent in post-Impressionist painting. Works by Vuillard, Cezanne, Degas and others are compelling, evocative, emotional with just a few splotches of color. The exactitude of photography works from the opposite approach, through incredible detail of every feature. Could I produce both through one medium? That was the question.

The shots with Joshua were the first foray into this field and the results were promising. I never thought this would be possible and I’m coming to grips with how I can control this new method to produce specific results. Stay tuned, lots of work coming.
