I am an editorial photographer specializing in professional sports. During the Covid lockdown, access to sports venues was difficult, which motivated me to pivot my focus toward botanicals. My love for covering sports hasn't changed, but my passion for discovering novel perspectives on plants and flowers has blossomed.
I was born and raised on the Canadian prairies before moving to the foothills of the Rockies where I earned a Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Calgary. I moved to Sewickley, PA in 1999. But it was back in Saskatchewan where I first connected to seeds and soil and became solidly rooted in them.
In my botanical work, I seek to produce new interpretations of natural subjects, hoping to generate unique, refreshing views of their beauty.
My process is as important to me as my photographs. I often grow what I photograph from seeds that I cultivate. I carefully select species with characteristics that interest me and mesh with my creative vision. From beginning to end, I am connected organically and value being involved in every stage of creating an image.
