About

 

I am a documentary photographer based in Vancouver, Canada. With a special interest in film photography, I specialize in events, portraits, and travel photography. I am specifically interested in working with not-for-profit organizations

The majority of the work presented on this site was shot using 35mm and medium format film, however some of my digital work is also represented here. I studied film production at Ryerson University and graduated in 2012.

I believe that documentary is one of the most rewarding schools of photography. Long form documentary works require the artist to develop sincere relationships with their subjects, in order to produce genuine, candid images. I strive for sincerity in all of my work.

I don't know what happened to the edges of this image, but I really love it. This is of an old dirt road in the Northern Thai mountains.
