Visual Story Teller

Welcome to my photography portfolio, showcasing a diverse range of work that captures the essence of various subjects and events. Explore my work to see how I blend creativity and technique to tell compelling visual stories across different genres of photography.

I have a diverse background in photography, focusing on business portraits, events, concerts, entertainment, and product photography. My expertise encompasses natural, studio, and flash lighting techniques, allowing me to capture images in various settings.

I excel in image editing and compositing, utilizing both subtle and bold techniques to enhance my work. Throughout my career, I've collaborated with a range of clients, including Grad Images, the National Film Board of Canada, Human Resources Development Canada, and BMG Music Record Company. Noteworthy projects include the documentary *Jeni Legon: Minnie The Moochier*, along with work for Scarecrow Vampire Fangs, Viva Las Vegas - Atomic Style Lounge Salon, and Burly Con Seattle.

Events & Compositing

Scarecrow Vampire Fangs Launch Party in San Luis Obispo, California

I traveled with the necessary equipment and set up the backdrop and lighting for the shoot. Scarecrow Vampire Fangs provided the couch for the setup. As guests arrived, I introduced myself and guided them into posing for their portraits. Later, I created composites using some of the images. The owner subsequently hired me to design the cover for her sales catalog for the Scarecrow Vampire Fangs tradeshow event.

I had the opportunity to design and create the photography and digital editing for the catalog cover for Scarecrow Vampire Fangs' tradeshow event materials.

I photographed the Burly Con meet-and-greet in Seattle, Washington. After enhancing the image with compositing techniques, it was published in *Dirty Glamour Magazine.

CANDIDS

Seattle Burly Con, Seattle, WA

In an indoor setting with fluorescent and alternating dance lighting, I utilize a flash and a specialized ring light that attaches to my camera for consistent lighting in unpredictable situations. The right lighting enhances the spontaneity of the moment. Below are images featuring burlesque legend Tiffany Carter and her daughter.

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Viva Las Vegas with Atomic Style Lounge Salon, Las Vegas, Nevada

I was hired by Atomic Style Lounge Salon to set up at the renowned Viva Las Vegas event. I captured stunning shots and incorporated compositing techniques. Clients purchased their packages, which included both backgrounds. Additionally, part of the package featured an animated version of their portraits set to music. This exemplifies the subtle editing I can achieve on a staged background, along with high-level composites of the same image. The possibilities are endless when you let your imagination soar.
