Welcome to my very first blog!

Here is where I'll be showing you how I do what I do, and answering those questions of "Just how did he get that effect/shot/concept/prop?" I often get to post photos, but don't really get to spend time talking about them, and why they drive me with such passion.

Where do I start? I'm 31, from Kitchener. I have a beautiful Wife and Baby boy, and I've been shooting for just over 4 years.

I'm a self taught photographer. I say "self taught" as I've had no formal schooling in photography, however there have been a great many industry pros and talented amateurs who have taught me so much along the way.

People like Ryan Wilson, Starla Wilson, JP Ellis, Andrew Paquet, Alexandra Franklin. All huge influences, and I love their work.

I like to take photos outside the norm. I love startling, or eye-catching images that evoke make you think or feel something when you look at them. I don't know much more I can say. I am a firm believer of the work speaking for itself. I'll just add little details and stories about the shoots along the way, and give you an inside look into the world I love.
