Capture The Eye, Capture The Soul.
— Kenneth Grate Jr

 

Memories, Stories, Secrets.... All etched in every great photograph.  Though he’s worked with myriad clientele, Grate favors the Fashion industry for its importance in individuality all captured and its mission in delivering often abstract yet powerful messages, of which at times can only be visually expressed. Grate Reflections is a reflection of life, at the crossroads of all that begets artistry- content and conflict as well as beauty and destruction.

 
Words can sometimes be unclear, so I use pictures to see. My Mind may be the source of my visions, but its my pictures that Reveal it
