bio
National Geographic inspired me to become a photographer. My father set the wheels in motion when he gave me my first camera when I was 13.
I studied art and photography at the Etobicoke School of the Arts, BEALart and the Ontario College of Art. In 1997 I traveled to South East Asia to document the lives of the All Burma's Students Democratic Front (ABSDF) and the refugees living in the border area between Thailand and Burma. The experience has had a lasting impact on my work and left me driven to tell stories with my pictures. Images from Burma that were featured in 2007's Vice Photography book can bee seen here.
I am available for freelance assignments and projects. To inquire about rates and bookings please feel free to contact me:
