I'm a writer and graphic designer in the GTA. I took Journalism in college and have taken a few photojournalism courses. Writing and publishing is my first love - but photography is my mistress. I love to indulge whenever I have spare time. I shoot outdoors since I don't have a studio - and to be honest, I much prefer shooting outside because you have so many more options for lighting, elements, and background.

When I was in school I loved experimenting with film... yes, good 'ole b&w film. From time to time I still also love to shoot Polaroids. My first camera was a Kodak 110 and when I was a kid I desperately wanted a Kodak disc camera. These days, I settle mostly for digital.

I love learning and I'm always trying to find new ways to capture a model's unique look, style, and personality. Since these photos aren't selling clothes - they're telling a story about the person in the photo. When you shoot with me, don't be afraid of letting your personality show!!
