Artists statement regarding Americana Photography

My Americana photography delves into the often overlooked aspects of United States culture that are not necessarily traditionally iconic, but still hold great significance in shaping the overall experience of the country. I focus on capturing the everyday scenes and subjects that are characteristic of the United States, often liminal spaces and mundane moments, away from or within an inner city, that are possibly the largest portion in the fabric of American life.

One of the themes that I frequently revisit is the concept of small town America. I am drawn to backroads, quiet streets, local businesses and residential buildings, signs advertising the ordinary, and the natural beauty of the country, urban, and developed landscape.

Overall, my Americana photography seeks to illuminate some moments and spaces that define the essence of American culture. By focusing on the mundane and the liminal, I hope to showcase a nuanced and authentic portrayal of the United States, one that I hope goes beyond the traditional icons and stereotypes.

I hope you enjoy or in some way find my photography interesting.
