My interest in photography started from the technical side. Studying physiological optics in graduate school introduced me to what I consider to be the ultimate camera: our own visual system.

As an optometrist, you learn early on that objective measurements do not always correlate with visual perception. The challenge is to achieve a balance between objective and subjective realities. I have found photography to be the perfect blend of art and science, allowing me to be somewhat creative with my left-brain still running the show.

I was honored for creative excellence in the field of professional photography by Professional Photographers of America (PPA) as a Silver Medalist for the Photographic Open Competition in the 2015 International Photographic Competition. Soon after, but not necessarily in relation to the medal, I was contracted to create wall art for several high-rise office buildings in Downtown Denver, the largest of which was a 4-piece canvas landscape with each panel measuring 8 feet by 4 feet.

The digital age has quickly created a complex global market. I find myself struggling to keep up at times. Self-promotion has never been easy for me, so I sought assistance and insight from the team at Your Art Gallery. We are creating a synergistic relationship that continues to evolve beautifully.

Your Art Gallery allows me to showcase my images throughout their many online promotional activities, as well as in gallery events across New York City – both great ways to be seen. Not to mention, I can count on the highest quality production of my digital images from their partner, Duggal Visual Solutions.

Get your images out there online where they can be viewed. Utilize social media and don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you can get to New York City, stop by and meet the friendly and amazing team at Your Art Gallery, like I did!
