Your Bio

My first introduction into photography was in high school learning film development in a "dark room". On occasion, I could bring the camera home after school and experiment photographing different subjects with it. Photography however, would not take off for me at this point in time and the camera was only used at birthdays, holidays and other special moments...maybe.

When I decided to look into the digital world of cameras in 2003, I had no idea that that decision would spark into something much greater than just taking typical snapshots. Through the years, as I have continued to grow my knowledge of lighting and composition, photography has become more than just a hobby. I look for the poetic connection between subject and surroundings... it's an art that touches deep into my soul.

I've had the great pleasure of teaching night photography workshops in the field over the past several years to a number of students, providing in-depth training classes in the art of taking photos at night when there is little to no natural light available. My seminar and workshop teaching has also been run through The Camera Store in Calgary, AB.

Today, I am recognized in the Calgary area covering a number of sporting events which include, but are not limited to, swimming, triathlons, wrestling, snowboarding and bob sleigh. Other photo ops include:

- Worldskills 2009, Calgary, for Team Holland
- Alberta Gemini Nominees Party, Calgary 2009, NATIONAL PR
- Pre-Worldskills 2011, Quebec City, Team Holland
- Since 2010 to present, freelance photographer for Flight Path Aerial, Calgary division

- Dec, 2012 to present, teaching night photography seminars and in-field workshops through The Camera Store, Calgary, Alberta.
