Hayden Banks Photography

Hello & Welcome

A photographer can be a storyteller. Images of experience captured in digital format, when put together like words, can weave tales of feeling and emotion as bold as literature. Photographers have, after all, recorded the histories of the modern world: people, landscapes, and even abstract concepts that only a camera might see. They bring together fact and fiction, experience, imagination, and feelings in a visual dialogue that has enormous impact on how we observe and relate to the external world and our internal selves.

I try to transcend my own feelings to reveal the spirit of the people and places I photograph. This important lesson took time to master. I hope that what I produce on paper resonates with you.

If so, let the journey begin!
