Five Years

When I was younger, it was not uncommon for my family to move around. The idea of home and place was always very different. I would change school districts and become friends with people that have lived in a place their whole lives, and I had never been in one place for more than five years. In the time that has passed since I resided in the town, many things have changed. I walk through a place as if I were a stranger.

To me, photographs are defined as things that perpetuate a moment in time. Each town has its own life and feeling, each of which I work to express to the viewer as well as illustrate the emotions that occur to me as I shoot. Five Years shows my process of meditation and reflection on my relationship with the places I have lived, and how that relationship evolves over time.

I am influenced by Bruce Myren and his series' based on space, place and his concept of home. Also, I am stylistically drawn to Gregory Crewdson. Each of his photographs is staged, and he is able to create emotive photographs that are larger than life with extreme detail.
​
In my work I am drawn to photograph lonely and abandoned structures. Working mostly on overcast days, I rely on the effects of diffused light to create a sense of atmosphere and enhance the mood of my photographs. Emotional connection between myself and the subject is a strong theme and something I work well with. In Five Years I work to show the viewer a place of interest to me, and give them some insight into my relationship with the subject. I know these places but feel fairly removed and distant. The empty foreground space is a way for me to create visual distance between the structure(s) in the background and the viewer. This distance is similar to my feelings about each of the locations.
