Experimenting With Props

I've been experimenting with different concepts in the form of props. Every time I do this, I find myself going back to the beginning and photographing people - particularly faces – raw and pure. That's all I'm really interested in.

In the end, what I find most interesting is "less". Less as in fewer props, fewer distractions. I'm not very good at creating an atmosphere anyway. What I can do is show the depth of a person and sometimes, I can reveal something interesting in their face or spirit.

I enjoy this the most but I question if it's because I'm "comfortable" and I'm getting lazy or if it’s still valid to work what you feel most strongly about decade after decade. For now, I’ll continue doing what drives me; the human face.
