Gallery

Welcome to the Aperture Mind Photography Gallery. Here, you will find all of my latest images as they come along from nature and landscapes to portraiture and modeling. Unfortunately, the gallery is still under maintenance as I have just started the process of moving from my previous name (Inspire Ink Photography) to Aperture Mind Photography. You may notice some of my photos here still have my old signature on them. This is for me and all of those who have followed me through this journey to look back on and remember how I got where I am today. I am beyond proud of myself and looking forward to what the future holds for me and Aperture Mind Photography. "Work with an open mind expecting endless possibilities."

Mental Health Project: "Abandoned, Not Just an Excuse"

This project was one I have been wanting to do for so long, but never had the chance to. "Abandoned, Not Just an Excuse" is a project designed to tell the world what mental health is really about. It's about giving those who have been silenced by society a voice. It's about giving a chance to someone to show the world they are truly suffering. This project was not designed for pity, but to bring awareness of the many silent killers many of us struggle with on a daily basis. Be mindful, kind, and compassionate. Aperture Mind Photography is an advocate and supporter for mental health awareness and those who suffer. YOU matter. 

NOTE: NO DRUGS WERE USED OR CONSUMED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THESE IMAGES.

When The World Had Class

A modern throwback to the 1920's when most people found the world had class. There were sharp dressed men and women and respect was something to earn. Give a grand "how do you do" to the excellent models who helped me pull off a project I have wanted to do for years!
