The ability to witness and capture the beauty of friendship through photography continues to compel and inspire me as an artist. A central idea in my work is capturing the intimate moments within relationships; the signs of affection shown when interacting with a loved one. Life moves so quickly and it is because of this reason that I strive to capture those everyday moments.

In order to document these important moments I use still photography in an unobtrusive way. I like to describe my style as natural, allowing the subjects to interact freely while I quietly capture the intimacy of their relationships. My direction of the subjects is extremely minimal and usually just consists of placing them within the certain space I am shooting in. Through my work I am attempting to capture the intimacy between couples, the friendship between siblings, the happiness between friends and the bond between parent and child. I believe it is these emotions that truly define our relationships. www.hjimagery.com
