Working out of Vancouver, British Columbia.  Growing up in Vancouver, I have been surrounded by nature. As I began taking photos, my favourite subject was, and still is, birds. My life list sits at 265 species, many of which have been seen in the Metro Vancouver area, a testament to the region's natural diversity. As a photographer, I believe that photos can bring light to important issues. I hope that as a photographer, I can deliver quality photographs that also serve as a reminder of how beautiful the natural world is and why it is worth protecting.
