Vision Over Tech
I work in metaphor, using one thing to explain another. I combine you with light to make a picture. The picture goes where you can’t, and tells your story.
Light is full of that duality. It’s particle and wave, real stuff and dream-stuff. My whole life, from poems to books to woodwork to photographs, I’ve made art out of dream-stuff. I don’t know what it is, but I know when I’m tapped into it.
And that’s why why I have beef with AI.
Not all AI. The complete-product generators. It can’t dream or think or consider, so it has no access to dream-stuff. It’s no good as an artist because it has no feelings, and can’t connect intuition with strategy. It can be a powerful tool… but it can’t dream. For that, you need a soul.
Analog Soul
Vulnerability is power. Your headshot can’t flex for you if you were never in it. It doesn’t tell your story.
When I opened this business, I spent months in my studio, shooting myself. I sweated it, literally. Dreamed about it. Reminded myself of the risks I ask you to take. The pictures are digital, but the person is analog.
And it means more that way. Our thoughts and dreams—our point of view—are what make us interesting. Looking good is fine. Nowadays everyone can look good.
To stand out, you have to look interesting.
For that, you need an artist.
