I gather my images  by photographing with a tripod and an external remote. I set up the camera, tripod, lighting and reflectors, react and pose. In the studio the photographs are translated into prints, cutouts, and free standing props. The prints are scaled, assembled and adhered to plywood, foam core, and veneer. The approximate height of the props varies from 16 inch models to 50 inch panels. The edges of all shapes, plywood panels, and wooden substrates are determined by the outlines of my body.
