My Story
I'm a proud dad of two awesome boys, and my motivation to learn photography came when my first child was born. I wanted to document the small and big moments of his life, so I started reading up about photography and practiced around the house. By the time my second child was born a year and a half later, I was hooked with the artform of photography, and had already started exploring and experimenting with several other genres.
Today, my body of work primarily consists of nature photography like landscapes and wildlife, but I also shoot in genres such as family portraits and commercial photography. And in case you're wondering: No, I haven't stopped taking photos of my kids :)
Ethical Nature Photography
I believe in always prioritizing the wellbeing of nature over my photography, and I follow the Nature First principles. All my wildlife photography show wild animals in their natural elements. They are never fed, baited or disturbed in order to get a photo.
Licenced Pilot for Advanced Drone Operations
Having the ability to create images from difficult to acces perspectives is a great advantage. This is what attracted me to flying drones.
I take much pride in flying legally and safely. I've been flying drones since May of 2021 under the Basic license, and I obtained my Transport Canada Certification for Advanced RPAS Operations in November of 2021.
Photography Educator
Since 2015, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching photography to hundreds of people in the Greater Moncton area, but also around the Maritimes. Sharing my passion for photography by teaching classes and taking people on workshops is something I've always enjoyed doing.
COVID-19 has made it challenging to teach photography. I've taught a few virtual classes since then, but very much look forward to things returning to normal so that I can teach groups in person again!
