Urban Solitude

The world's largest cities promise proximity — millions of lives within arm's reach — yet often deliver the opposite. Urban Solitude strips color from the frame to focus on shape: the geometry of towers, transit systems, and shadow used not to frame a city, but to erase it, leaving one figure standing alone inside it. Mainly shot across Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver, the series argues that density and connection are not the same thing, and that isolation can be sharpest exactly where it should be impossible.

Concrete Canvas

An obsession that started in Melbourne's laneways followed me to Toronto and Copenhagen. Street art across Toronto, Copenhagen and Melbourne - the cities where graffiti stopped being vandalism and became language. A visual record of walls that talk back.

Monochrome

Monochrome is a working practice rather than a single narrative. An ongoing body of black and white images spanning landscape, urban space, and everyday objects. What holds it together isn't subject matter but approach: a fine art commitment to tone, contrast, and deep shadow, applied consistently regardless of what's in front of the lens.

Barnes of Ottawa

Ottawa's rural landscape is quietly losing its barns. Weathered structures that once anchored working farms, now forgotten and increasingly rare. Barnes of Ottawa is a multi-year effort to photograph them through every season, before they're gone. The title is a tribute to my mother, whose maiden name was Barnes, and the project carries a second purpose: to become a published work raising funds for cancer research. It's for her, and for everyone who has faced the big C — fighting it, having fought it, or standing beside someone who is.
