Photography isn’t a job for me, anybody who knows me will tell you that it’s a part of who I am.
Nearly two decades ago, I walked away from my day job to turn a side hustle I was passionate about and a camera into a full-time career. Since then, I’ve spent my time working with major brands, governments, corporations, and marking my eighth year as an official photographer for the Toronto International Film Festival.
Art From The Start.
I’ve always been creative. My first memory of a camera was finding my father’s Pentax camera, I loved looking through the viewfinder, the sound of the shutter, the feel of advancing the film. There was just something about it, the feel, the sound, the act of composing an image, even if I was too young to understand what that meant.
As a teen, we had a professional photographer move in next door to my parents. I recall countless nights where we would sit on the steps and discuss his latest projects, he would show me some of his recent images, he’d ask me for my thoughts. It was something I really enjoyed, and I found myself fascinated with the process, from concept, to execution.
Growing up in west Toronto, I was also surrounded by the graffiti scene of the mid 90’s, and I would regularly walk around and document the murals on buildings and trains with my 35mm camera. I’d go looking in all the places to find a new piece or production so I could add it to my collection. Little did I know that this interest in photography, and urban culture, at an early age would shape my adult life.
From City Street To C-Suites.
This all led straight into an obsession with street and cityscape photography. I spent years roaming Toronto day and night trying to catch the perfect frame, naturally, as it happened. Weather never mattered, in fact, the worse it was, the better. Posting that work online not only helped me make my name in the local photography community, it also eventually opened doors to commercial work with City of Toronto and Tourism Toronto.
That raw, unscripted, street background shaped how I shoot and see the world. It’s a straight line from city streets to shooting high-end commercial, corporate, and event work today. Over the years I’ve only refined my skills and process, and I still constantly seek new challenges, and the next shot.
Professional Experience & Trusted Clients.
Over the last 18 years, my client list has grown to include TIFF, NATO Canada, The Trilateral Commission, and The Miller Group, to name a few. My work is published globally, permanent commissioned pieces hang in buildings across Toronto, and I’ve done collaborations with organizations such as The Bentway, and major brands like Google Canada for their TIFF 2026 partnership.
At the end of the day, I’m doing what I love. Whether I’m on a construction site, at a corporate conference, shooting a portrait, or just walking the streets with a camera, my passion for my craft has only grown stronger.
