About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living on Hawai'i time

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Montreal and I'm currently working as a photographer. I mainly shoot architecture for different firms, but I dabble in everything. I am working towards getting some gear for wildlife photography.
I studied physics, geography and film at McGill University, and found that I can learn about all these things through photography and a few trips to the library!
I ski and play hockey during the winter, I hike and get out as much as I can during the summer.
I love learning from people and listening to stories.
I am travelling a lot these days, trying to soak up as much as I can. Travelling has changed my life and is a humbling and mind-opening experience.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all good - do what you gotta do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving with octopi and green sea turtles is up there. So is hiking the diverse and beautiful Overland track in Tasmania. Everyday I see something amazing - we are surrounded by beauty and mysterious phenomena all the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you many things...how to ski, a card trick or two, how to make a mean omelette (French Country Style)
I'm pretty good at boosting others' self-confidence by doing stupid stunts.
I'll also share mutual respect.
