Interiors is an ongoing, long term, portrait series of mine. The collection evolved from an inspiring portrait session with one person.
The series explores the subtler, more
introspective side of people, to look at the spaciousness and stillness
that resides in each moment. Shot on location with existing light, both film and digital formats are used to help keep these black and white images simple and timeless. Along with building a strong rapport with the subject, this
approach strips away much of the glossy, surface treatment that people are
regularly subjected to in photography, and allows another aspect of the real
person to come through.

Angelica Juarez, Guanajuato, Mexico
 |
| Angelica inside Diego Rivera's childhood home, Guanajuato, Mexico |
Angelica was one of the many blessings I experienced while creating a photo essay of San Miguel
d' Allende. She manages her father's transportation company which arranges cars, van, buses or anything else you may need to travel in Mexico. She was my trusted and very capable guide.
This portrait was made while visiting the house where Diego Riviera was born in the beautiful town of Guanajuato. Angelica delivered a breathtaking reading from a wall mounted facsimile of Frida's famous 'retrato', a testament to her love for Diego. During the hush that followed, Anjelica turned to face me while I made this photograph. I will always remember her humble manner and natural beauty.
