"My approach and skill in photographing has greatly developed over the past twenty years. My roots in creating images originates with reportage. The free flow and raw emotion of photojournalism has had a profound influence on the way I compose images. I am always looking for that realistic spark in a images  allowing the viewer to feel something and forget they are seeing for few moments." ~ Jeff Speed
