About The Publisher 

Publisher's Statement: 

 

I love photography. Photography is my passion, it gives me a sense of peace and relaxation. It brings joy and happiness into my life because I can look at my artwork and smile to myself. Wow! Is what I often say at some of my creative or breath taking designs that I created with my artistic expression;  my creative vision, my in-focus centered view, my distinct angle, which gives me my custom design.  

 

My motto is peace, joy and happiness (P.J.H.). I believe in creating my own world of what I call PJH Time. During this time, I drift off into my artistic world. I began to vision a portrait, I design that perfect portrait in my mind. Then I create an everlasting timeless meaningful piece of portraiture.

 

My photography artwork helps me relax. It takes my mind off the day to day stress. When I'm relaxing, I see only visions of portraiture, sometimes I combined a compelling peace of portraiture with compelling literature creating what I call “Poetry of a Portrait”.
