I feel no way towards life but I do feel life, vibrating on every level of my being.

I have a gluttonous desire to display the human experience in a very specific way.

It all begins in a small town north of Toronto, Canada. I was brought up on a bay off of Great Lake Huron, shaping my what is often referred to as ‘California’ appeal by non-Californians —but I believe it’s what made my work unique to the typical LA style of shooting. Almost all of my early imagery was photographed on a dull Canadian beach in its off season while I dreamt endlessly of new and tropical horizons; the rest in Toronto in rent by the hour motels on the east end. The city is where a greasy despondence began to surface among the blue skies and dreamlike colour schemes. I felt hopeless, yet inspired and alive. From there I made one of the cleanest breaks of my life via a one-way ticket to the sacred Hawaiian island of Maui in late 2012. This is where the desolate Canadian scenery and city gloom began to meld into a tropical contact-high haven and style of its own. From then on I've spent the majority of my months chasing the feeling that comes with discovering the unknown and creating my own paradise along the way.

A few months prior to my great escape I began a lifestyle clothing line titled Don’t Blow The Illusion. DBTI flowed seamlessly into my travel experiences as I featured my photographs as prints. Each lookbook and collection marked a timeline that soon became the story of my early twenties. I continue to work on the expansion of this project today and you can check it out here.

Please don't be shy to reach out regarding having me photograph your line, product, or you. I am always open to taking on new projects. Prints are also available.

Enjoy the ride.
