Whistler, BC V0N, Canada
I am an award-winning adventure, travel, and outdoor lifestyle photographer based in Whitehorse, Yukon.
A ten-year veteran of the mineral exploration industry, I first started shooting photos to document my experiences working in the remote and rugged BC wilderness. The seasonal nature of fieldwork afforded me the opportunity to photograph snowboarding during the winters and, in 2011, I established myself as an emerging talent in the action sports world with awards at the Deep Winter Photo Challenge (3rd) and Ski Salt Lake Shootout (2nd).
Today, I have retired from prospecting, but my passion for exploring the wild remains. Whether shooting the vineyards and desert of the Okanagan Valley, or snowboarding deep in the Whistler backcountry, the aim of my photography is to convey a sense of place, adventure, and discovery - the true spirit of exploration.
