Bio

I was born on the edge of the Rockies. I was shaped in the prairies, mountains, and coastlines of Western Canada. I grow wherever my work takes me, and I am inspired and influenced by the individuals I meet and the places I end up in the process.

Photography was an interest before it was a hobby, a hobby before it was a pursuit, and a pursuit before it was a passion. Now it shapes and changes me and my perspectives. It is an art as it is a science, based as much on perception as it is in reality. The camera is the medium that bridges the gap.

I love what I do. I love the challenges and the rewards; they together with the unique and wonderful clients I'm fortunate enough to work with are what drive me to grow and develop as a photographer and as an artist.

Check out the photos. Get in touch. Good things happen when we push the creative process.

On the very edge of the earth, or at least the far western edge of Canada, you will find a very unique group of islands called Haida Gwaii, the Queen Charlotte Islands. This diverse coastal landscape is a very rich environment of rainforests and beaches, mountains and tidal pools, and a very beautiful native culture and way of life. These postings contain photographs from my all too brief encounter with this beautiful place.

Cape Fife

Cape Fife was one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been. We hiked with high hopes after hearing rumours of an open-use cabin on the eastern shore. Packing in tents and enough supplies for a few days we were prepared for whatever, but were pleased to find a perfect cabin right on the shores...

Queen Charlotte City Harbour

I’ll start from the end. These photos were taken on our last night on the islands, November 1st. We went out for a walk pretty late at night and ended up making our way out onto the harbour. The sky was lit up brightly by the moon and the fast moving clouds made it ideal for...
