HumanEssence

Two artists. Two Styles. One Story.

The portrait photographer captures the essence of human expression and emotion.

The abstract photographer uses shape, form, and color to offer an alternative yet complementary perspective.

Together, we have created HumanEssence, a series of photographic pairings that illustrate how representational and abstract images can convey the same emotional resonance. By displaying side-by-side images that amplify each subject's essence, we tell a story that is greater than the sum of its parts and compel the viewer to look past the superficial veneer of each subject.

Each pair is in a way a puzzle with infinite solutions. Viewers can discover for themselves the solutions that speak to them with the most clarity and force.
