Selfie in The Empress Hotel.

About

I have always had a passion to create images, whether on paper, canvas, or with a camera.

In 2007 I discovered photography when I enrolled in the Camosun College Visual Arts Program in Victoria BC. Monochrome film development with darkroom enlargers and chemical printing was my first real introduction to analog photographic art. This interest led me to pursue a bachelor degree in film production from Emily Carr University in Vancouver, BC, where I graduated in 2013.

The same year, I purchased a Canon DSLR and began my professional practice. At the same time, I didn't forget my analog roots.

Currently I work and reside in Victoria.
