Photography – Edmonton

Photography is about exploring the world I live in. Taking something ordinary and adding a new perspective to it. It’s sharing the story unfolding in front of the lens. It’s being completely honest with myself and shooting with conviction. When I find a colour I love I fill the photo with that colour, it’s finding unique lighting opportunities and making a statement with it… it’s so much more than being behind a camera. I’ve learned a lot about life and myself through shooting. Like that sometimes no matter how hard to try to force something… create the right atmosphere, get the right people, you just need to wait for the perfect moment. Like no matter how hard I try to be like someone else, I’ll end up getting frustrating results and not getting the shots I desire. I try to be honest, open and real with everyone I meet… and that includes whoever I am photographing. I am not just looking to set up poses or scenes, get the shots and be done. I am looking to create lasting impressions and experiences by which we both will leave knowing a bit more about each other and ourselves.
