Biography

I am a freelance photographer and writer based in Oshawa, ON, Canada.  My main photographic style is photoimpressionism which takes its name from the Impressionistic movement in art.

My influences come mainly from the traditional art world rather than the world of photography.  The use of colour, shape and texture by artists such as Monet, Guillaumin, Thompson, Carmichael, Lismer, Harris, Carr and others as opposed to a strictly realistic approach are what I strive for in my impressionistic photography.  The Pointillist style as used by the likes of Seurat and Van Gogh is also a look I try to achieve with the camera.  I try to bring this sense of abstraction to other subjects including my architectural abstract photography.

In addition to my fine art work, I do freelance PJ work as both a photographer and writer and have had an image chosen for the cover of a national magazine.  In my commercial work, I often make use of High Dynamic Range Imagery to create high quality, richly detailed images for my clients.

None of the images in the galleries on this site are done with ‘digital trickery’.

Fine art prints are high quality giclée prints and will last for many years.  Only methods and materials that will help enhance longevity are used.  Canvas prints are treated with a protectant that seals the print and protects from UV fading.  Similarly, prints on metal are protective coated.  Traditionally framed paper prints are put behind anti-UV glass and only acid/lignin free materials are used.

Information about my commercial photography services can be found on the Commercial page.

There are links in the Photography/Writing Credits below to some of the articles I’ve written in the past. You’ll see that the writings are not just on photography related subjects. I’m able to research and write on a wide variety of topics.
