« I was born in Vancouver, Canada to a British father and Cuban mother. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design where I majored in Photography. I also studied Social Sciences at Simon Fraser University. In fall of 2004 I began a 13 month adventure travelling around Cuba and taking workshops at the Superior Institute of Art in Havana.Sometimes you have to be far away from everything you thought was important, to realize what really matters in life.
Returning to Canada I moved to Toronto to explore what another city had to offer. I had always been inspired by beauty and upon meeting model Anna Bertram I was catapulted into the world of fashion photography. I stay inspired by always pushing my own boundaries and exploring different mediums of creating art. »
