As an independent photographer, I am able to give personal attention and flexibility. I offer freelance services in the music, sports, and journalism fields. Live events are my specialty. Faces are my passion, expressions from within that can only be seen through an unbiased lens.
I am based in Montreal, Canada, but am available for travel.
