Editorial photography is the art of telling a story through images. This could be through portraits, advertising, or lifestyle. It's the ability to put together a story about a person, food, a product, or a scene and light it beautifully.
In the fine art world, those who make art are trying to convey a story, evoke a feeling, or bring attention to a subject. Sometimes, that art is made just to show something to the world that is constantly overlooked, something the artist finds beautiful in some way.
Portraiture has been made for centuries to capture the likeness of a person at a certain time of their lives. With photography, that likeness is made easier. Now people have their portraits made through out their entire lives. Portraits made by a professional photographer are special and last a life time. They capture a moment in time that will never be again.

I tell stories through my photography, but mostly I just love to create.
