"I chip away the shadows to reveal light and dimension the way a sculptor chips away at a block of marble to reveal the sculpture within." On location, he literally paints his subjects with light, whether he is lighting a shipwreck while balancing on a ladder in the middle of the ocean or painstakingly lighting an abandoned marine stadium. Using multiple photos taken from a variety of angles with different lighting conditions, he combines the otherwise-similar images into a single luminous composition.
