Time for a Change
tl;dr summary: now you can buy my images on Stocksy.com! When I left my job to pursue professional photography, I told myself I’d try it for 6 months, and if it didn’t work out, I’d find another desk job or maybe go back to school. I didn’t even call myself a “photographer” for the first [...]
Raleigh’Lypse: Nightlife
In October, I went to Raleigh, North Carolina for an iStockphoto event. Nearly 30 photographers spent 3 days shooting at amazing locations around Raleigh, including Seven, Tucker House, and C. Grace. We shot everything from vampires to burlesque dancers to ghost children. Here are a few nightlife / bar themed images from the shoot: You [...]

Here are some photos from Jack Layton‘s funeral this afternoon at Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto. People gathered along University Avenue to watch the funeral procession.

R.I.P. Jack Layton
As you probably already know, NDP leader Jack Layton passed away four days ago after his battle with cancer. This afternoon I headed to Nathan Philips Square and took some pictures of the memorial set up outside City Hall. It’s quite amazing. Almost all of Nathan Philips Square is covered in chalk messages to Jack, [...]
Make the Politician Work
Since most Canadians have politics on the brain due to today’s election, I thought it would be a good idea to post some film stills I did for the CBC/Gorilla Media television series Make the Politician Work. The series takes Canadian politicians and puts them in workplaces related directly to their own areas of responsibility [...]

Currently, all files on iStockPhoto must include model releases for any people visible in the image. There must be no copyrighted materials in the [...]

Attention All Zombies

I’m offering free studio portraits for zombies in costume in exchange for a signed model release so I can use the pictures. My studio is located at Queen & Spadina – a few blocks from Trinity Bellwoods Park. Make [...]
CIBC Run for the Cure 2010
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation because they needed a photographer to do a couple of extra headshots for their Run for the Cure campaign. The bulk of the campaign was already done, but I took pictures of David Peterson, the UofT Chancellor, and Erin & Mike from [...]

It was [...]
Kenneyville: Day 2
Here are some behind-the-scenes movie stills from Day 2 on set of Kenneyville! On Friday we filmed in a creepy barn in Cobourg, Ontario. It was a really cool set, and Sean Samson was there as a Makeup FX Consultant. He just finished working on Saw VII, and built a drill so we could [...]
