Captivated by music at an early age, it was inevitable that I’d end up working in the music industry in various forms. At 3 years old I started collecting records and studying the music, artists, and album art. Elvis, Little Richard, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin… whatever I could get my hands on from my parents’ antique store.

Inspired by record album art, I taught myself photography as a teenager. In my early 20s I got into filmmaking and graduated from film school. Around the same time, I started practicing Ninjitsu. I stumbled into concert photography almost by accident in early 2008 and quickly fell in love with working with the action-packed high energy environment. Because of my small stature, the way I’m able to stealthily get my shots, and my martial arts background, the nickname “The Ninja Rocktographer” stuck.

Based out of western Canada, I specialize in commercial, concept, and fine art concert photography, as well as filmmaking. I have experience in numerous environments ranging from small club venues, theatres, auditorium arenas and has worked with local up and comers, Juno Award winners, and legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. 

I started my career as both a promoter and the photographer for  Got Pop? Concerts before teaming up with promoters TLC Entertainment, and westcoastrock as their official photographer. I have also crossed Canada as photographer and crew for a five piece rock band and a rock musical for various Canadian Fringe Festivals.

In 2012, I was named as one of the 50 best concert photographers in the world by Examiner.com.
