Designing Light
My approach to photography is analytical, intentional, and built on a foundation of disciplined execution.
My background is in engineering (B.A.Sc. Mechanical Engineering, Ottawa). This field demands precision. It requires an understanding of underlying systems. There’s also a focus on optimal performance.
This is not opposed to my art; it is its foundation. It is the framework that allows me to deconstruct a scene into its essential elements of light, composition, and form.
Formal training in Art and Design (Mohawk College) provides the creative approach to reassemble those elements into a compelling narrative.
This process is driven by the same discipline. It defined my tenure as a varsity athlete. This is where preparation meets decisive execution.
I am drawn to remote and challenging environments. These range from industrial worksites to raw landscapes. They show complex problems with elegant visual solutions. My goal is to create imagery that is structurally sound. It should also be creatively profound. I aim to deliver a final product that is meticulously composed. It should be reliably exceptional.
