Hello.
Thanks for taking an interest in my work!
Here's my quick backstory.
Born and raised in Southern Alberta, Canada in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains.
Fortunate to have been born in an era where they still taught traditional darkroom photography in schools.
Half way through my post secondary education, I abandoned the usual courses and created an independent study shooting photos across SE Asia.
Learned film cameras are built like tanks, (are heavy) and can survive almost anything while traveling.
I love grainy, contrasty, black and white film.
Completed my BFA degree and moved across Canada to intern under renowned Toronto photographer Dustin Rabin.
Toronto taught me the in's and outs of the business... and some amazing insight into the rock and roll lifestyle while working alongside Dustin and Dine Alone Records.
Southern Alberta has always been home, and I brought my work back to the Prairies after meeting my wife Sabrina.
Very recently Sabrina and I have relocated to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue both of our careers in the music and arts hub of the South!
I continue to explore traditional film photography outside of my commercial work.
