I prefer creative “slow photography” as opposed to the typical quick session that you can get from anyone with a camera or cell phone. I explain “slow photography” as the difference between a slow cooked meal and a fast-food restaurant. It may be the same food item, but the taste, texture, look and experience is completely different. You can see the results of my work in my galleries. If you are looking for this style of image, I’ll be glad to help you.
I’m a low-key person, but I do have a contagious excitement during a photo-session. People I have worked with typically end up having a great experience. (One even said the session was one of the best family times they had, even for a Saturday.) I approach my sessions with a bit of humour but I prefer to have a free flowing, non-stressful time. I enjoy the process and I would like you to as well.
For the past few years, pre-covid, I did mostly Real Estate photography. Today I no longer do Real Estate, just the personal and creative portraiture that I like doing. I’m older and a bit slower, but that does not stop me. With age comes experience, knowledge and problem solving.
I’ve been photographing from the days of 35mm film and have processed my own film and done my own wet printing. Now I have digital cameras and still do my own printing using professional inks, paper and a printer. Additional printing and albums are done using trade-only businesses.
Over the years, I’ve completed lots of courses, joined organizations, got certificates and did weddings, family sessions and functions. Some of my images have been on TV, in advertising, on web-based store fronts and in newspapers.
Today my focus is on personal portraiture and portfolio photography. With my background, I am sure I can get you an image you’ll love to own and show off, with no problem
Where have my images been used?
My images have helped people with; finding mates on dating sites, models with their portfolios, remembrance photos of loved ones, family images in both classic style or free form, self-affirmation photos and “I just want to remember me as I am” photos. Some I images I can show you and some not as they are personal. I am always discrete.
