My artistic passion involves revealing the unique beauty found in the most simple moments and places. I often see in a painterly way, having inherited an acute awareness of color, shape, mood and light from my beloved mother, who was a renaissance woman of many talents.
I began my creative career as a musician, playing guitar and singing in local pubs, as well as booking and hosting an original music show. The moment I picked up my first camera, I intuitively felt a connection between music and photography. For me, creativity originates from one inner source, yet the expression of that creative energy can take multiple forms.
Photographing local NYC musicians was a natural starting point for my career. Eventually I expanded my work to include shooting a wide range of portraiture and events. Regardless of the subject matter, my goal has always been to impart an element of freshness, spontaneity and risk taking to the creative process.
The last several years have seen a major shift in my creative focus, to that of fine art photography. I’m a natural born adventurer/explorer, and as such I seek to reveal unique elements of light, water, beauty and seasonal changes in a variety of environments. My newest passion is shooting fine art nudes.
My love of beauty also led me to create my own art gallery, MazlishGallery.com
My photos lend themselves particularly well to large size printing. One of my favorite print formats is dye sublimated aluminum. Printing within aluminum imbues a photo with an inherent richness and depth; the finished artwork is both durable and archival. And because there is no glass or plexi layer separating the image from the viewer, the photo literally seems to pop with vivid color and life.
In essence, my goal is to help bring a sense of peace, color, excitement and beauty to the places where we live and work. I’m excited to share my photography with you!
