ABOUT

I’m a Vancouver-based portrait photographer creating long-form, observational portraiture.

I’m drawn to people and love to explore that space where there’s something a bit quieter happening beneath the surface. Most of my work comes from spending real time together, chatting, and getting to know each other rather than trying to manufacture a quick pose on the fly. I’ve been told my energy on set is part personal cheerleader, part untrained therapist, and entirely genuine. 

I’ve spent over 14 years working professionally with clients including CBC Vancouver, Intracorp Homes, Prenuvo, UBC’s Trek Magazine, and Langara College.

The process is pretty simple and intuitive—kind of like me. I’m paying attention, responding, and holding space for something unforced to emerge. I’ll usually start by shaping the space a bit—where we are, how the light feels—and then it becomes a bit of a dance. I guide where needed, but I’m also adjusting to the rhythm of the room, trying not to over-direct so something more natural can come through. It’s less about a rigid performance and more about pure presence—I’m looking for what exists in the in-between.

Connection is the heartbeat of my work. I need to feel something for the images to land, and I think the same is true for the person in front of my lens. When that trust is there, the process becomes collaborative, fluid, honest, and oftentimes, unexpectedly playful.

Alongside this, I take on editorial and commercial assignments, bringing the same attention to light, composition, and a sense of honesty to each project. This side of my work draws heavily on a previous 10-year career managing large-scale pipelines in the Vancouver animation and VFX industries. Having produced and managed projects for Mattel’s CG-animated Barbie feature films and served as production manager on VFX pipelines for major studio titles like Tron: Legacy and Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I deeply understand the anatomy of a massive creative production. Combining that high-level pipeline discipline with my 14 years as a professional photographer allows me to translate complex agency briefs into seamless, bulletproof visual campaigns, while keeping the set fluid, collaborative, and relaxed.

More recently, I’ve been focusing on longer-form portrait work with musicians and artists—projects that allow for more time, more presence, and a bit more depth to build unique visual worlds together.
