I'm a digital photographer at www.amphian.com. I compose to remove as much as possible from an image while still capturing the essence of the subject. I am drawn to macro photography for its ability to get very close - to notice the details that a less intimate view overlooks. Most of my work is uncropped from the 3:4 aspect ratio in which is it shot, and many of my images are shot in the vertical orientation. This size and orientation gives the sense of a window view looking into a subject.
