In 2020 I stared shooting wildfires that were breaking out in British Columbia. The devastation from these fires and the human impacts were profound. I trained my camera to capturing these fires in an effort to share the ferocity with others. This passion continued into 2021 with the Sparks lake fire and other mega fires that devastated the southern interior of the province. Throughout July and August 2021 I was documenting these fire and the fire fighting effort as best I could while adhering to the restriction put in place by BC Wildfire Service. I was able to provide still images, video and timelapse to tell the story of our drying and warming climate in the interior forests of the province. This has become a passion for me and I want to further my skills and qualifications to continue to tell the story through images I shoot. My work has been collected by art collectors, licensed by production companies for documentaries, used in aurora research and licensed by media on breaking stories.
I am a self taught photographer. I began shooting in 2014 and have been driven by the passion to capture nature at its finest and at its most destructive. Learning to shoot in adverse conditions has been steep. I have taken online courses for night and adventure photography along with a business of photography course held by Paul Zizka. I have become and expert in shooting in adverse conditions, including shooting at night, in extreme cold, during ski crossing of the Rockies and other less than ideal condition.
