His approach to the photographic arts originates largely from his background in photojournalism, but he has recently begun integrating the intuitions of classical painting and sculpture in his photographs. Seth draws his inspiration from the paintings of Paul Cezanne and Paul Klee. Using digital and film, his favorite things to shoot are environmental portraits and landscapes. What Seth enjoys most about shooting weddings is the way in which photos can capture and present the story taking place on that special day.
