About Me 🙋🏻‍♂️

Before photography became my main creative language, I spent nearly a decade in the Canadian film industry. I went to film school in 2011, then worked professionally on major Hollywood films, independent films, and smaller productions.

I worked across grip, electric, camera department, and camera operation, while also spending time with editing, VFX, compositing, tracking, keying, and the technical side of image-making.

Cinema shaped the way I see.

It taught me light, rhythm, movement, patience, composition, and atmosphere. Even now, I approach photography through a cinematic lens, with attention to feeling, timing, and story.

Change Of Course

In 2019, I left the film industry and moved to Japan.

Street photography became a way to combine exploration, solitude, curiosity, and creativity. I was walking through new cities, trying to understand the world around me, and using the camera as a reason to pay closer attention.

That decision changed my life.

Since then, I have lived, travelled, and photographed across Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and beyond. Travel gave me perspective, uncertainty, and a deeper appreciation for direct experience.

Leaving the film industry was one of the best decisions I have ever made.Not because I stopped loving cinema. I still do. But because I needed to step outside the life I had built and see what else was possible.

Travel is something I deeply recommend. Not as escapism. Not as content. But as education.

Photography

Photography started as a way to document the world around me.

Over time, it became a practice. A form of meditation. A way to slow down and notice what most people walk past. Cameras and lenses matter, but only when they help you see better and create with more intention.

The real work is not collecting gear. The real work is paying attention.
