Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta I am a city kid. Already, long into my career, I picked up my first DSLR in 2015. It saw it on a bulletin board for a cheap price so I bought the Nikon D60 and signed up for a beginner course. By the end of the final class we submitted photographs and after viewing them, my instructor asked me, “You like street photography?” I said “What is that?”It wasn’t long before it was all I did as I finished the photography program by the end of 2016 and practiced the photojournalistic style. Since then I have been shooting primarily events and street photography. I have pieced together a few collections over the past year. I have completed some workshops in 2017 and plan to take another in Paris in 2018.
