Alison on Photography Served. When my daughter Alison was born, in the tradition of a new parent, I began to photograph her, initially in a separate and private body of work.
However, in the process of documenting Alison's growth, I developed a passionate interest in human relationships and capturing intimate moments in the lives of family and friends. This affected my photography in a profound way. Rather than the isolated subjects of my earlier work, I became interested in the strength of relationships, oftentimes using personal environments to amplify those conditions. My photographs of Alison, because of the nature of our relationship, are very much a father-daughter collaboration-Alison permitting me access to private moments of our life, which might, under different circumstances, be off-limits to a parent.
The camera, early in her life, became part of our relationship, necessitating in me an acceptance, a quietness. Novartis "Reflections" Campaign on Photography Served. Couples on Photography Served.
