I have been in business as a commercial, editorial, corporate and fine art photographer since 1994. I trained back in a time when many of the great shooters were generalists. We learned to shoot everything (on film) and do it really well. As a result I have photographed everything from people, to food, to dogs, to jewellery and other products, in studio and on location for all different kinds of clients including, over the years:

Amex Bank of Canada, ATI Technologies, Autism Ontario, Becel, Bell Canada, Berkley Books (USA), Best Foods Canada, Biovail, BMO, CAMH, Canada Lands, Canadian Diabetes Associaton, Canadian Home Publishers, Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan, Canadian Wildlife Federation, Centerra Gold Inc., CIBC, The City of Toronto, Colgate, Dogs In Canada, Dove, Eaton's, ESA (Electrical Safety Authority), Esso, Fairmont Hotels, Federal Express, FSRAO (Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario), The Globe and Mail, Habitat for Humanity, Harlequin, HarperCollins Canada, Harry Rosen, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Homemaker's, Hoechst Marion Roussel Canada, Hudson's Bay Corporate Incentives, Imperial Oil, Inglis, Intact, Interval House, Janssen Inc., Labatt, Lego, Lever Ponds, Levi-Strauss, Lifelabs, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Mead Johnson, Microsoft, Moosehead, More Magazine, Motrin, Nelson Education, Nicoderm, Ontario Lottery, Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, Ontario Ministry of Transporation, Ontario Pork, Northleaf, Owens Corning, Owl Kids, Payless Shoe Source, Pet Valu, Purdue Pharma (Canada),Random House Canada, RBC, Scarlet Magazine, Schneider's, Scholastic Canada, Sears, Segal LLP, Service Ontario, Somerset Entertainment, SPOSA, Style at Home, Summerhill Market, TD Bank Group, Telus Mobility, TICO, Tim Horton's, Today's Parent, Toshiba, TTC, Unitron, Pioneer, Sprint Canada, Rexall, Searle Pharmaceuticals, TVO, Weston Family Foundation, Winners, Women of Influence, WoodGreen Foundation, Wyeth Ayerst, and pHisoderm, well as private, individual clients,

with photo budgets from three to six figures.

Now that we're in the third decade of the 2000's the shifts in the industry have necessitated, more than ever before, our re-presenting ourselves as specialists with coherent visions. Tough to do when your interests and your clients are so varied, but I've tried to put a slightly more coherent foot forward, in part by incorporating the tagline "making people and things look pretty" which really sums up what I have always done, and continue to love to do.

I talk about some of my processes in two blogs accessible via the links in the menu to the left. My "Blog" is about general shoots, and the "Makemepretty Blog" is more specifically about corporate and lifestyle/branding portraiture which has become such an important part of my work.

It remains the case, in reality, that sometimes I get to be super creative and take the images to a different creative level beyond straight photography, and sometimes I get to be creative within the realm of many clients' quite straight forward needs. Either way, and whatever the subject matter, I'm committed to using my passion, skill and experience to produce the best, and "prettiest" photographs possible.
