I had the opportunity to document UTM's mass vaccinations clinic operations from when it started to when it closed. It was a really amazing thing to be a part of. I think this will be a moment that I'll look back on fondly.
Something really special about this day was getting to spend time with the staff who ran this clinic throughout its lifecycle. They were playing slideshows of the images I took at the clinic. The staff were gathered around reminiscing about their experience. It’s moments like this that are really special for me as a photographer. To be able to capture photographs of these milestones is such a privilege. I made sure to share the images with everyone I could so they would have something to look back on from their time working at the clinic. For the staff who worked and shared memories I hope these images and videos age like a fine wine.
Throwback Thursday: Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Opens in Mississauga
On March 1, 2021, in partnership with University of Toronto Mississauga and Region of Peel, THP opened Mississauga’s first mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic. I had the pleasure of shooting photo and video of the opening. This is a major milestone in the fight against COVID-19.
“At the heart of this is the heart of every single health care worker. They care about their community and they care about each other.”
mRNA Vaccines Explained
Here is a video I created on After Effects for Trillium Health Partners. This was my first time taking a stab at creating a video solely on After Effects. As you might be able to tell I've drawn a lot of inspiration from the VOX series "Explained".
Do you want to know more about how COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work?
Follow along as Dr. Matthew Robinson, Medical Director of THP’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program gives an overview of how vaccines work in general and how the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work a little differently to teach our bodies how to protect ourselves from COVID-19 infection.

I’ve been diving pretty deep into After Effects and Adobe Illustrator these days. I’m hoping to add a new section to my website soon that will have these types of projects in it. Keep an eye out for that!
Peel Paramedics COVID-19 Vaccination Training // POTD 17.01.21
On January 7 Peel Paramedics came to Trillium Health Partners to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. They also were trained on how to administer the vaccine. Now Peel Paramedics have joined forces in administering the vaccine to long-term care workers, front line staff and other priority groups. I had the opportunity to tag along and photograph some of the process. Here are a few of my favourite stills from the day.
Winter Walk // POTD 04.01.21
From a winter walk a few days back. I love my ‘hood under a blanket of fresh snow.
Conserving PPE by Decontaminating N95 Masks
A project shot for Trillium Health Partners. I went for a How It’s Made kind of vibe with this video. How did I do?
“Based on existing evidence and guidance from Ontario Health, Trillium Health Partners is decontaminating and storing N95 masks as part of our personal protective equipment (PPE) conservation plan to make sure that a safe supply of PPE is always immediately available. We will only use decontaminated N95 masks if our current supply is depleted and no other option is available.”
