about me

I’m working full-time in downtown Toronto.

My most days begin and end on the train, moving with the tide of commuters.

Somewhere along the way, photography found me, so I carry a camera with me on the way to work.

In the beginning, I learned by reading Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Decisive Moment; Ansel Adams—400 Photographs, The Camera, and The Negative.

Those books shaped the way I see light, structure, and patience.

Over time, my references expanded—Werner Bischof, Herbert List, Chim, Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, André Kertész, Jean Gaumy, Martin Parr, Alex Webb, Marc Riboud, Jacob Aue Sobol, Vivian Maier, Chris Steele-Perkins, and many more still to come.

My style is influenced: quiet, curious, imperfect, human.

Beyond photography, I make coffee - my favourite coffee is from Guatemala.

I have a cat named Tood.
