Ken's work showcases a nature-based, unique approach to photographing his subjects. Together with traditional photography, Ken also incorporates vibrant colors and painterly effects through the use of intentional camera movement (ICM), reflecting his vision for a space where imagination meets reality. His ICM photographs are striking in their subtlety, boldness, and diverse but still natural colors. 
Additionally, Ken creates traditional black-and-white images, a style he started over 40 years ago. He employs negative space and abstraction in his landscape compositions inviting viewers' deeper thought and perception of time and setting. 
The landscape is central to his artistic process whether it be remote, rural or urban; he begins each project with an outdoor setting. Sometimes Ken has a location in mind, most often the light draws him to the moment to explore the unique colors and changing light. This allows his art to develop from timely and careful observation of his surroundings while searching for the most advantageous light. He is acutely aware that the unique intersection of time and light can never be duplicated.

Scope

Ken uses medium format and 35mm film cameras, mirrorless digital cameras and his iPhone in his work.  He’s been shooting film since the late 1970s primarily using Canon 35mm equipment and 6x6 Rolleiflex and Minolta TLRs.  He discovers his subjects through random exploration and in-depth advanced planning. The many variables of each day shape his reaction and approach to image-making.  In a world filled with timetables, pressures and expectations, photography has taught Ken to accept what unique details nature offers in the moment and to capture that image to share with others.
