I'm a Toronto-based photographer from Atlanta, Georgia learning to appreciate Canadian winters. My passion for photography began during a summer spent in the Czech Republic, when I was stunned by the beauty of Prague and the Charles Bridge. I not only wanted to capture everything that I saw, but desperately wanted to remember how I felt, standing on the yellow bricks and marvelling at the centurie
s-old building silhouettes towering in front, the dark waters below, and statues lining the bridge that had watched over the bridge's travellers for the last 300+ years. There was a sense of mystery and deep nostalgia that overwhelmed me, and my Canon Powershot was all I had to capture all of these feelings and majestic views. A few nights later, a fatal loss of grip left me with no camera at all, and I decided to take the leap and replace it with my first DSLR: a Canon T2i Rebel. Since that fateful purchase, I strived to capture the essence of my favorite parts of life with it: exciting events, nature, and, of course, the incredible people I have the fortune to be around. I found an incredible joy in taking pictures of my friends, not only to document their beauty, but also their unique quirks, positive vibes, and incredible strength! I've since graduated to a Canon EOS 6D, and the joy has only grown exponentially. Besides photography, I am a student at the University of Toronto pursuing my Doctorate in Musical Performance as a violinist. I also am a serious composer and like to work with classical and electronic music. You can learn more about my musical adventures at:
