I approach portraiture as an opportunity to emphasize fascinating people through light, emotion and storytelling.  I pride myself on creating a lively and exciting atmosphere for my subjects, team and clients.  I believe our finest work is achieved when our cast is fully engaged and having just enough fun to let their guard down.  Production includes some of the best producers in Toronto as well as top tier wardrobe, makeup, casting & location services. 

The Applied Arts Photography Annual awards for portraiture and a series on big Hawaiian surf.  (2009, 2012, 2017).  

Awarded Gold at the 2020 Canadian Online Publishing Awards for Photo Journalism w York University Magazine.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with agencies, networks and magazines in Canada, the US and the UK.  Clients include CBC, eOne, VISA, GM, Nissan, Infiniti, HGTV, ScotiaBank, Corus Entertainment, Big Brother Canada, Top Chef Canada, York University, Publicis, Doug & Partners, SOS, Isobar, Aardvark Inc, TAXI, Draft FCB & Anderson DDB.

I recently read Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.  Both absolutely fantastic.  Currently reading an Elon favourite "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein.  A peculiar style of speech but an engaging story of interplanetary revolution.  Highly recommend all three.  Happy reading and hope to chat soon!
