It seems I'm in a roll :)
Hello everyone!
I am very excited to finally announce the release of my sixth photo book. This is volume one of a series of three or four books showcasing my fine art and the thought process going into it.
"Photo Art" to me, is turning a photograph into something more artistic and where I express my interpretation of the image before me. With the use of textures, I am able to better portray the feeling or emotion that I receive from the scene.
This technique might seem simple but, if not executed correctly, it might ruin a good image. It should be used in moderation.
Some of my artworks required intricate composites and a variety of different textures to achieve the desired result. But I am amazed every time my vision comes together in the final image.
Pick up a copy now!
This book makes a great gift, or you can display it on a table in your own house!!

CAPTURED - New Orleans - The Streets Of The Big Easy
Hey everyone! Take a look at my brand new "Magazine" style book in a series of books dedicated to exploring streets in our beautiful North American cities! Available now to purchase!!
Yes, I am really happy with the way that this book turned out and I believe it showcases the spirit of the streets of New Orleans, more specifically, of the French Quarter. I decided to have all the images in black and white, since that is the traditional way of presenting street photography, but also because I felt that they represent better the feeling I had while there. You can have a sense of the history in that city and the influence of the French and Spanish cultures. An amazing city, indeed.
Here is a sample of the book.

Meet Me In My Mind - Photo Art
Hello everyone!
Announcing the (soon to arrive) first book in a series of books with some of the best and most popular of my artwork, as per public views and other artists's reviews and comments, on my website.
One of my favourite types of work I create is Photo-Art, a fusion of photography and digital manipulation of the image and the addition of textures. Some of the images are composites of several photographs to create the final vision and others are just enhancements done to the original photo. With this process I am able to achieve what my mind's eye perceives the image to represent to me.
My work has been praised and has been receiving great reviews, for which I and deeply thankful. After numerous suggestions from other peers, I have decided to create this series of books that I hope will please art lovers.
Stay tuned for the launch date!

Why Photo Books?
My fine art photographs and digital artwork are available as framed prints, canvasses and a plethora of other products but, there is nothing that beats the feel and smell of a well made book that can be with you forever.
I also found that the process of assembling the images, building and formatting the book has made me a better photographer and artist. Looking at the photos and artwork again with fresh eyes and deciding where each image fits within the context of the book helps me grow and learn, which in turn, will make my future books even better.
Having a book laying on a table is usually a conversation starter for any visitor. It is hard to ignore the presence of a beautiful book, even from across the room. Every book has a story to tell, including a photo book, after all, "a picture is worth a thousand words".
In closing, photo books make great gifts too, so what better way to make my artwork available to more people around the world than in a beautiful book?!
Bellow are a couple of spreads of my current photo books. Click the images to preview the books:
