Why I Shoot With Medium Format

Human experience is largely based in our eyesight. For me, being a Highly Sensitive Person, the sensation of vision has captivated my attention for as long as I can remember. The color, shades, tones, & textures of life all appear to my eyes in a vividness & subtle ecstasy impossible to illustrate with words. Naturally, I’ve spent many years attempting to capture the awe-inspiring beauty around me through photography as it is a medium which transcends words & logic. I began like most do with an iPhone: slowly understanding the principles of composition, lighting, shadows, & color of what creates a quality photograph. I progressively understood that the combination of these elements in a specific order creates a unique emotional experience. I desired to dive deeper into the art form beyond the distractions & flat rendering of iPhone photographs to develop a more focused process of creating images with a dedicated camera.
