Montreal, QC — 2024
Photography is how I make sense of the world — one frame at a time.
Based in Montreal, I work across four disciplines that each reveal something different about how we inhabit the world: travel photography that captures the vastness of landscape and the intimacy of place; street photography that finds the human in urban chaos; lifestyle work that celebrates the quiet beauty of daily moments; and portraiture that tries to see the person behind the surface.
I trained in visual arts before picking up a camera professionally, and that background shapes how I think about composition, light, and narrative. I'm drawn to natural light, long lenses, and the decisive moment — when something shifts and suddenly everything is true.
My work has appeared in editorial and commercial contexts across North America and Europe. I'm available for commissioned projects, editorial assignments, and collaborative work.
