Photo by David Burke

I've always kept my attraction towards the arts and photography to myself. I think I did this because to me, it's something very personal and intimate. The moments captured on camera will always tell a unique story.

Couples will kiss as if its their first kiss. A father and his little girl will dance as if shes floating on clouds. Lovers will stare into each others eyes as if no one else is around. A mother will cuddle her newborn, keeping her little miracle safe and warm.

Every photograph has a story behind it. The people, their expressions, hand gestures, tears.

No one else will understand a certain look between two sisters. No one will understand the comfort of a groom's supportive and familiar hand on the small of his bride's back.

These gestures, as common and "little" as they may seem, mean the world to us. Intimacy...humor...desire...protection...shock...unspoken understandings.

These moments are the ones that define our relationships and reveal our feelings. These moments are the ones that bond two people closer together. These moments are the ones that make us human, bring us love, and although they're short-lived, they are the ones we reflect on the most. I want to capture these moments for you.
