I am a landscape photographer based out of the beautiful Muskoka region in Ontario, Canada, who specializes in creating fine art images that touch on both a visual and emotional level.  I enjoy the solitude of the wilderness and the way that it can heal a tired mind. On most days you can find me outside, exploring the incredible land that surrounds us, searching for new photographic opportunities. 
Growing up I was always surrounded by nature, but it wasn’t until photography entered my life that I truly learned to appreciate it to its fullest. Photography made me study the land closer then I ever had before and in doing so, I became aware of the true beauty apparent in even the simplest scenes. I treat each one of my images as its own unique piece of art with the upmost thought and care instilled from capture to print. My goal is to make sure that each image has its own story to tell. I’m constantly driven to further develop my creative vision and share my images with the world. In 2012, I was chosen by Photolife Magazine as one of Canada’s Emerging Photographers.
Throughout the year you can find me displaying my images at juried art shows across the province. I also sell my fine art prints through the online shop on my website.  I  have a passion for teaching others about both the creative and technical side of photography through workshops and instructional articles. I frequently write for my blog and various photography websites as a way to help others develop their creative vision. I believe that to get the most out of photography you truly need to appreciate and understand your subject. On top of that, you need to enjoy yourself no matter the circumstances. It is easy to get discouraged by criticism and negativity that can present itself at times. Stay true to yourself and stay positive and your images will flourish!
