The Painted Lady (more details below)
"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."
- Marilyn Monroe

(Un)Masked!
I see photography as a means to reveal hidden truths and potentials. My portraits seek to show my subject as she's never before been seen...perhaps as she's never before seen herself. I strive not to copy what has already been done, but to unveil and release the individual from the bonds of convention and the limits of social expectation.
The images from my series "(Un)Masked!" play with our perceptions of people by selectively revealing or hiding portions of the model's face...or showing her in the process of stripping away the mask that she has been wearing.
We go about our daily lives wearing a cloak, a veil, a mask. We reveal only a portion of our being to family, friends, acquaintances and strangers. Yet inside each of us exists many different manifestations...where hidden personalities hold dreams and desires we never reveal to anyone - maybe not even to ourselves.
The (Un)Masked! series of photographs seeks to lift that veil by paradoxically hiding a portion of the subject's face. By hiding certain features with shadow, fabric, paint, found objects and fabricated masks the way we see that person is altered...and the subject is liberated from the face she shows to the world every day. She becomes free to express facets of her being that may have been repressed or taboo: whose qualities range from innocence to sultriness, from mysteriousness to candor, from strength to submissiveness, from introspection to courage.

The images in my "(Un)Masked!" series play with our perception of people by selectively revealing or hiding parts of the model's face... or by showing her removing the mask she was wearing.
We go about our daily lives wearing a cape, a veil, a mask. We reveal only part of ourselves to family, friends, acquaintances and strangers. Yet inside each of us, there are many different manifestations... where hidden personalities hold dreams and desires we never reveal to anyone - perhaps not even to ourselves.
The (un)masked! series of photographs seeks to lift this veil by paradoxically masking part of the subject's face.

She becomes free to express facets of her being that may have been repressed or tabooed: whose qualities range from innocence to sensuality, mystery to candor, strength to submission, introspection to courage.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (gedruckt auf säurefreiem, metallischem Kunstarchivpapier)
"Sie haben versucht, mich zu begraben, aber sie wussten nicht, dass ich ein Same bin."
- Mexikanisches Sprichwort
(Un)maskiert!
Ich sehe die Fotografie als Mittel, um verborgene Wahrheiten und Potenziale aufzudecken. Meine Porträts versuchen, mein Motiv so zu zeigen, wie es noch nie zuvor gesehen wurde ... vielleicht so, wie sie es selbst noch nie zuvor gesehen hat. Ich bemühe mich, nicht zu kopieren, was bereits getan wurde, sondern das Individuum aus den Fesseln der Konvention und den Grenzen der gesellschaftlichen Erwartung zu enthüllen und zu befreien.
Die Bilder aus meiner Serie "(Un)Masked!" spielt mit unserer Wahrnehmung von Menschen, indem Teile des Gesichts des Models selektiv enthüllt oder versteckt werden ... oder sie dabei gezeigt wird, wie sie die Maske abstreift, die sie getragen hat.
Wir gehen unserem täglichen Leben nach und tragen einen Umhang, einen Schleier, eine Maske. Familie, Freunden, Bekannten und Fremden offenbaren wir nur einen Teil unseres Wesens. Doch in jedem von uns gibt es viele verschiedene Manifestationen ... wo verborgene Persönlichkeiten Träume und Wünsche bergen, die wir niemandem offenbaren - vielleicht nicht einmal uns selbst.
Die (Un)Maskierten! Eine Reihe von Fotografien versucht, diesen Schleier zu lüften, indem sie paradoxerweise einen Teil des Gesichts des Subjekts verbirgt. Indem bestimmte Merkmale mit Schatten, Stoff, Farbe, gefundenen Gegenständen und fabrizierten Masken verborgen werden, verändert sich die Art und Weise, wie wir diese Person sehen ... und das Subjekt wird von dem Gesicht befreit, das sie der Welt jeden Tag zeigt. Sie wird frei, verdrängte oder tabuisierte Facetten ihres Wesens zum Ausdruck zu bringen: deren Qualitäten von Unschuld bis Schwüle, von Rätselhaftigkeit bis Offenheit, von Stärke bis Unterwürfigkeit, von Introspektion bis Mut reichen.
