To the East Coast of Canada born, I arrived in Jacksonville, Florida 15 years ago by way of Greece, Thailand, Korea, and Canada. Though classically trained and practiced in photography, I have acquired most of what I know about the art of creating images through interactions with people and places from around the world. It is my contention that if one hopes to represent human nature, one must first be exposed to as much of humanity as possible. People’s beliefs, their inspirations, aspirations, and hopes, their fears, the environments they make their own and their relationships with others have helped shape my view of the world. That view is what I try to show in every image I produce. From the environments in which we find ourselves to the ones we shape to suit us, from the physical selves we have been given to the way we choose to present ourselves, if you look close enough you can see something universal, familiar and beautiful in all of it.

I find the capturing of an image and its eventual presentation to an audience to be an exceptionally rewarding experience regardless of the subject matter. From a kitchen island as part of a real estate spread, to a tropical island village for a travel writer or journalist, from portraits of families to insects they have in their backyard, I revel in the opportunity to show how I see the world in a way that applies to the wishes of the intended audience/client. Having said that, I do particularly love working with those who know photography and can share in this ever changing art.
