My Bio
I am an Ottawa-area photographer who enjoys creating images that tell stories. I generally work with models in the areas of action/adventure, fantasy, pinup, and cosplay, but will also do glamour, swimsuit, boudoir, lingerie, body art, nude, and the occasional bit of fashion photography. You can see examples of my work on my web site's portfolio page.

I also run biweekly workshops in Wednesday evenings through the Ottawa Photography-Model Meetup group. Images from recent workshops can be seen on my website. For these workshops I only use models with whom I have done TF (Trade For) work or have worked with in other workshops.

My photographic work is strictly as a hobby so rather than accepting paid commissions I prefer to work on projects that interest me. If you are a model, photographer, or makeup artist with an interesting concept, feel free to contact me to discuss a possible collaboration.

Favourite Books
science fiction, science fantasy, anthropology, archeology, space science
Tools of the Trade
Canon Rebel xTi, Aperture, GIMP, Picturenaut, Hydra, Photoshop, AlienBees SB800, Canon Speedlite 430ex II
Other Interests
kickboxing, swordfighting (fencing, rapier, broadsword), gaming, historical recreation

I have been busy with plenty of photoshoots. Unfortunately, my presence on dA has taken a hit. I'll have to post a bunch to get caught up. Latest shoots include Matrix cosplay, Day of the Dead, my regular Wednesday Night Workshops, and a bit of non-model photography.

I am way, way behind on posting here. So I will start with the latest live-action comic, a 5-page set entitled Victorian Vampire. Wednesday Night workshops have been progressing well, and I completed both a test shoot and a workshop using liquid latex. August will be busy with several projects coming to fruition. Things will slow down again in the fall so that I can get back to posting regularly.

We're now in the "busy season", photographically speaking, so posts will be less frequent. On the plus side, by September I'll have a backlog of photos to post. This year I am experimenting with using a photographic team to work on more creatively-challenging projects. Upcoming projects will cover themes including Tank Girl, Women in Armour, Vampires, Horror, Steampunk, Liquid latex, Superhero sidekicks, and more live-action comic sets. I have also started a biweekly Wednesday Night Workshop in which I bring in a paid model and two or more local photographers to work on different themes, giving me a chance to play with lighting, poses and f

Not a problem. I was looking for reference photos of the Carbide plant in advance of a photoshoot there. Nice work.
