Alchemy of Alignment is a selection of award winning photos I've captured since I began shooting in the summer of 2018. Throughout the journey, I've encountered a repeated experience, a trance-like state and astonishing synchronicity. Much like Cartier-Bresson's Decisive Moment, the crux of my art is revealed during moments of what I call Alignment. Nature, the muse, and my artistic choices reach a nexus, a crossroads where the image is born. I call this the Alchemy of Alignment.
