Health care professionals at work in the operating room,
in the clinic, and in the streets. Whether the job at hand
is life-saving surgery, a routine checkup,
or emergency response to a mass disaster,
the key to compelling photographs that accurately
tell the story of health care is capturing the
expressions and gestures that communicate
intensity, skill and compassion.

Modern medicine depends on advanced technology as much
as on human compassion. And every machine, every process,
every device and every tool has a graphic beauty all its own –
if properly seen and properly expressed. But always it is
important to maintain the connection to the human senses
and intelligence that create and use the tools,
for without those, the tools themselves
are nothing.

The most powerful pictures of clinical practice come from the
real world. But the art of medicine is not soley about
the hands-on compassion of the clinic. It is also about
ideas and invention and dreams of the future.
Sometimes the most effective way to communicate a concept
or vision is through the controlled environment
of the studio, where the unnecessary can be cut away,
leaving light and color and detail to express
the idea without distraction.
