About

Wildlife photography is the focus of my work. I create well observed images that highlight natural behavior, strong composition, and the relationship between subject and surroundings.

My photographs have been recognized and published by Canadian Geographic and the Canadian Wildlife Federation, and are licensed through Getty Images and Adobe Stock.

Based in Vancouver, BC, I’m a wildlife photographer available for assignments locally and beyond, including travel for the right story or subject.

If you’re looking for reliable, publication-ready wildlife imagery grounded in respect for the subject and environment, I’d be glad to connect.
