Tell us something about yourself:

I am a hairdresser turned fashion photographer from Toronto. 

How and when did you get into photography?

I started taking photographs just about 1.5 years ago. I needed another creative outlet and was quite bored with some of the photography I was seeing, especially in Toronto so I thought maybe I could bring a new brand of photography to the city. 

What does photography mean to you?

Photography means different things to me.  One of the biggest is that I am able to evoke some sort of emotion from people allover the world. You can love or hate my style, but regardless when you look at my photos you feel something. That is very cool. 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

I would describe my style as a candid snapshot style of photography where perhaps the viewer is wondering how I was able to capture the moment in question. I hope my photos feel as if it were someone really close to the model that snapped the photos, as if there is a mutual understanding in each photo. 

Where do you get inspiration from?

Inspiration comes from everywhere. Other talented photographers, magazines, music.  

Think you in advance what you want in the picture?

Yes somewhat. But sometimes I might have a vision in my head that just doesnt look good when I shoot it. I dont fall in love with an idea too much. If it isnt working I move on quickly. 

Studio, on location or both?

I do both but prefer locations... There is a little bit of the spontaneous nature which gets lost for me in a studio.
