I am a fine art portrait photographer with a focus on social diversity. My passion for photography began during my studies in the Creative Arts program at John Abbott College, and later at Toronto Metropolitan University, where I earned a degree in Interior Design.

After university, I worked as a senior designer on specialty projects in commercial interior design. This experience helped me further develop my eye for design composition, and deepened my understanding of how light affects its surroundings.

Today, I specialize in fine art portrait photography, using light and shadow to capture the natural beauty, essence, and inner emotions of my subjects. I believe that a face tells a story. My aim is to use portrait photography to tell personal stories of social diversity in communities.

I am based in Oakville, Ontario.
