Hmm, a bio. Bios can get so boring and self-congratulatory. People tend to use big words. Like “self-congratulatory”.

So, let’s keep it short.

I do two kinds of photography and filmmaking.

DAY JOB
I shoot travel, tourism, food, environmental portraiture & lifestyle. And automotive once in a while. I've been doing this for over 35 years, in various countries, for big brands, corporations, small businesses and organisations.

I've been lucky to have travelled to some cool places, and met some even cooler people.

FOR FUN
I enjoy documentary photography and filmmaking. Street, travel, portraits, culture, and landscapes. My preference is black and white.

I love gear, even though I secretly know it doesn't matter that much.

I like crappy old vintage lenses more than I should.

I have a small YouTube channel that I rarely put any effort into. But it gets me out of the house.

I spend my time between Canada and England.
