Clear, fresh, exciting photographs and sharp, effective writing are among the most powerful tools we have to communicate and sell our stories, ideas and services. I believe the most effective images are the ones go beyond just documentation - they must really tell a story about what's going on and why it's important.
A collaborative approach, technical and creative excellence, and long-lasting value are what I strive to deliver.
I specialize in corporate, industrial and editorial photography and writing and have served clients across the NWT and Nunavut since 2009. I have written, photographed and produced four documentary books: Bridging the Dehcho (2013), documenting the historic Mackenzie River crossing; Aurora UP! (2017) about the aurora experience in Yellowknife, The Air Tindi Story (2018), on the 30th anniversary of the home-grown airline, and in February of 2019, the third edition of On Good Ice, the story of the winter road road to the diamonds mines.
I am a regular contributor to Aboriginal Business Quarterly, Up Here Business Magazine, and other specialty publications in the NWT. I have numerous clients across government, mining, construction and the arts, including: De Beers Canada Terrax Minerals Agnico Eagle NWT Mine Training Society NWT Tourism Industry Association Legislative Assembly of the NWT Kasteel Construction Clark Builders Northern Arts and Cultural Centre Westcan-RTL My Back Yard Tours
