THE ARTIST STATEMENT

 

Photography is freedom to me. It allows me to become one of the world's eyes, express my inner thoughts, and freeze time. My photography encourages people to see emotions, and imagine a life story behind the still.

 

The desire to change minds and obscure views influenced me to begin Cloke. My emotional state at that time inspired me to transform the captured images that I felt replicate the feelings of today’s African-American man. Nothing to lose but so much to gain was my outlook. The vision of myself in various states helped me capture the expressed emotion.

 

Capturing the realisms in people, the way we are, the way we look, the things we do, and our profound traits motivated my photographic movement. It was the truth in my own personal story that allowed me to present to the world a body of work that I feel can describe the feelings of many.
