épater le bourgeois

I graduated from Humber College in Toronto where I mostly photographed portraits of people in rooms, the rooms themselves, and my vintage friend Claudia. Once I flew to Los Angeles and took amusing portraits of the gents from Jackass wearing drawn on mustaches and leather hats. Most recently I took a trip to the Middle East where I discovered a love for shooting landscapes and unsaddled camels. I've had work published on Jones Soda bottles, The Medium, On The Danforth Magazine, Vice Magazine, Everything Magazine, Sweetspot.ca, Home and Garden Online, Canadian House and Home, and most recently, won an award of Merit in the portrait category from Professional Photographers of Canada.
