While I have photographed for eight years, I have seldom photographed people.

This distance may be the result of my teenage introversion, an attitude which can sometimes still incline me to avert from social interaction. With people I know, without much of their clothing, in the darkness behind closed doors, I have found the comfort to look closely at the human body.
