an invitation into creative crucibles & art ritual rites of passage..

These sessions are a visual alchemical process

I will offer you a handful of 'Knowns' to guide your preparation.
Sessions can bring up anything from child-like wonder to deep erotic/cathartic outpourings.
This will depend on your intention for the shoot and what our dynamic allows.
We are at the mercy of the Muse and will enter into this co-creative dance together.
What we will conjure will be your Essence + the spirit of Essence itself.
These shoots are not about an end goal, they are about the journey & the unique collision of our orbits.

This is a ‘choose your own adventure’ artistic pilgrimage.

Each photo shoot offers the opportunity for custom magic making. The experience co-created is not limited to or bound by the ideas within these packages or what is stated on this page.

These descriptions are an anchor point + a seed.
What is most important is that we meet what the truth of the moment asks of us.

I will not give you what you think you want.

I create an environment, a setting, a space for listening for wants to emerge from you.

Making art is active listening.

It’s a call and response with the creative current. It’s a dance with the prevailing energies of the moment, the land, and our bodies. I don’t know how this energy works, and I don’t control it. If we pretend to understand or try to control the current, we lose the life force and the beauty potential in its revelation.

Leading through active listening and curiosity is different than working with commercial branding.

We are working with the emergence of the soul, and our soul often has a different plan than our mind.

I don’t open into art creation through cerebral strategies. I court the imagination and the unconscious.

I track primal pulse underneath our readily available sight.

I don’t approach a creative process with force, although I will sometimes apply pressure or introduce chaos to get underneath the grip of the human personality or feigned control.

I apply my trust in the current to bring us into the river below the river, where the soul speaks.

I stand for tripping up our habitual expression and cultural neurosis so that we can begin to understand the living current of eros and its invitation into our becoming, our authentic expression, and animality.

My work isn’t just to manage lighting and a camera. I help subjects bring themselves back into the organic rhythms and cycles of life through art, ritual, somatic and emotional enactment, and animal body wisdom.

We will come into relationship with “what is” by participating in direct contact with Life and fall into the Lucidity of Spirit.

This isn’t my agenda, it is my inquiry.

What happens when you come into relationship with your inner voice and the living bodies (human and non-human) of wisdom around you?

This is a collaboration to reveal what (or who) is here with you.

It’s an opening.

A revelation.

An unveiling.

A remembering.

A return to wildness & embodied Gnosis.
