The Photographer

A camera allows us to take control of the thousands of subtle, fleeting moments that define our lives. We can capture something intangible—light—and hold it captive, releasing it again on
our own terms, as a photograph, whenever and wherever it's deemed appropriate.

Educated in graphic design, my schooling included three years of formal photography training along with art history. I developed a love of the French Impressionists' relaxed style and perception of everyday life, and it is those artists from whom I draw inspiration. I believe in the strengths of composition and light, and when those two principles are used properly, the everyday can look extraordinary. A design career in the Canadian magazine industry has allowed me to work closely with many fantastic commercial photographers whose knowledge and skill have helped me shape my own photographic vision, a vision that I would now love to share with you.

Thanks for stopping by…
