I love portraiture and candid photojournalism, and enjoy teaching others how to discover their own personal styles.
In 2021, my photos appeared on the front page of the Globe and Mail three times, and in newspapers and magazines around the world on assignment for Reuters and Maclean's.
I love seeing new places, and travel light thanks to Fuji mirrorless cameras. I’m set up to shoot most scenarios, and have diplomas from Canada’s top photojournalism (Loyalist College) and broadcast journalism (Fanshawe College) programs.
Until 2010, I was the publisher of one of Ontario’s best small newspapers, the Grand Bend Strip.
My work in newspapers has earned acclaim locally, provincially, nationally and internationally, including these awards:
runner-up for Ontario Community Newspaper Association’s Photographer of the Year Award in 2007, 2008 and 2010.
recipient of Canadian Community Newspapers Association's Outstanding Reporter Initiative award, the top national award for community newspaper reporting, in 2008 and 2015
recipient of Canadian Community Newspapers Association's Best Local Editorial award, the top national award for community newspaper editing, in 2018 and 2019.
