When I envision a new project, I envision real, beautiful moments in life. There are times when I wish I had a camera to document events or circumstances. If not, then I wish to re-create the moment and enhance it. I envision life as it really is to a person who is just a girl, or just a boy. Everyone is human. No one is perfect. People like to watch stories about people just like them. Why would we want to watch a film without a struggle? Life is a struggle and a story with perfection has nothing to root for or fight for. As humans we want to fight for love, root for the underdog, or strive for our biggest dreams. When I envision a piece, I envision a special moment or moments in life as they are, but with better lighting and music in the background, of course.
I love natural lighting because natural beauty is the most beautiful thing to me. I think every person is beautiful in different ways. My visual style is to portray a specific person's beauty in the way it was meant to be portrayed. Sunlight and candlelight is beautiful and natural just like people are beautiful natural. Sunlight and a beautiful person are complements of each other.
Because I am a musician, most of my ideas are inspired by a song or a melody. Whenever I hear a song, I imagine a story. I envision different shots with each part of the song. Every song can tell a story whether it has words or not because music conveys emotion. Any song can stir some kind of emotion in me and remind me of a past event, moment in time, or an imaginary story I've dreamed of. I can't imagine a world without music. I can't imagine my life without music. Lastly, I can't imagine my work without music. Music is and forever will be a part of my life, my dreams, and my work.
My goal as an artist is to focus on the natural beauty of life in a way that displays life as it is, to just a girl, or just a boy through telling a story with music and truth.
