Photography is said to be poetic moments. I hope that my images have the poetry of movement and energy, light and color, emotion and architecture. Photographs are also opinions of moments that are unique and best shared with friends and family.
When photographs work they make you want to reach in to grab that hand and dance, laugh at the joke, hug grandma and squeeze that nephew until he squeals, or simply stare a few minutes longer at the twighlight skyline. Whether it is a glance of the eye, a sparkle off the dress or a slap on the back, there must be a hook that invites you beyond the surface of print or screen.
At the end of the day there are just two eyes photographing two people. Keep it personal, embrace character and share your story.
The journey started when I was14 years old. While one brother practiced his martial arts skills upon my younger self, the eldest of the three Doyle boys took notice and handed me a dented and fire damaged manual camera. After a few lessons I never looked back. Twenty some years after attending the challenging Tyler School of Art I still enjoy the simple act of lifting up the camera and seeing just what is in that little eyepiece.
