I am an independent photojournalist based in Toronto, where I've been documenting the arts and culture scene in words and pictures.

I'm a regular contributor to Metroland Media Toronto, NOW Magazine and blogTO.

My writing and photographs have also been published in Reader’s Digest, 24 Hours Toronto, Metro News, Spacing, Chart, Shift, Fast Forward and Sports Illustrated.

Over the years I've covered such diverse stories as: Canada's Next Top Model auditions, Igor Kenk's bike heist, zombie walks, Honda Indy, Gay Pride Day, Nuit Blanche, Edgefest, VFest, Woofstock, Wakestock and a Church of Scientology protest.

I am a graduate of the esteemed photojournalism program at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ont. I also have a journalism degree from Ryerson University. With these credentials I work seamlessly as a writer-photographer or a photographer-writer.

I grew up in an artistic household: My father is an award-winning goldsmith/jewellery designer and my brother is a talented visual artist. I first discovered photography as a child at art camp. When I rediscovered its beauty as an adult, it ignited my passion to tell stories with pictures as well as with words.
