Canada COVID Portraits

Check out this cool outdoor exhibit located at The Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The project is called Canada Covid Portrait. It’s a visual chronicling of how our lives have been impacted by COVID-19. The outside of The Harbourfront Centre has been covered in images by photographers from all across Canada, that capture how much day to day life has changed across the country.

One of my images was selected for this exhibit. I’m pretty excited about this for a few different reasons. It’s always rewarding to see your images in the physical world, rather than just on a screen. It’s also great to have your name mentioned alongside some of the other amazing photographers that are on display here.

I’m grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to work as a videographer/photographer at a hospital during a pandemic. If you told me in my interview at Trillium Health Partners that a global pandemic was imminent I might have reconsidered the job offer. Now that I’m in it I feel nothing but lucky. It is a privilege to get to document what is happening inside the hospital and work with the amazing people who step up and selflessly serve their community.

Physician Assistant Portraits // POTD 27.11.20

A few images shot for Trillium Health Partners for Physician Assistant Day.

As we mark #PhysicianAssistantDay, join us in thanking THP's small but mighty team of seven PAs in General and Neurosurgery. 🙏🏥

PAs can work in a variety of clinical settings and help improve efficiency and access to care, reduce wait times and shorten length of stay in hospital. Surgical emergencies continue during COVID-19, and PAs work tirelessly alongside their supervising physicians to provide high quality care.

We’re In This Together: A COVID-19 Survival Story

Here is a video that I had the pleasure of working on for Trillium Health Partners. These days it's nice to be telling a positive story.

The work everyone does at THP is so important, especially during a pandemic. I'm incredibly grateful to have the privilege to tell stories like these and work around the people who step up and fully commit themselves to keep our community safe.

After returning from a trip to Miami, Florida in March, Richard Reid developed a severe headache and worsening cough. It was confirmed that he had contracted #COVID19 and within days Richard was intubated and in critical condition at THP.

Thankfully he pulled through and today he's sharing his story—coupled with a special surprise—to remind us that there’s work yet to be done.

"I don't believe we should be fearful because I don't think that's a way to live and I certainly haven't lived that way. We have some really basic guidelines that we can follow and we can still live a full life within those guidelines. Let's do that and let's get it done with."

Respiratory Therapy Week Photos

Respiratory Therapists are some of the unsung heroes of the hospital, especially during the pandemic. Respiratory therapists are an essential component in the battle against COVID-19. For Respiratory Therapy Week I shot a some portraits with the RT team at Trillium Health Partners.

Self-Care and the Mind-Body Connection

Shot for Trillium Health Partners.

When it comes to self-care, it's important to remember that our physical, emotional and mental health are interconnected. Hear from THP's Medical Director of Mental Health, Dr. Ian Dawe as he offers some tips for prioritizing your well-being every day.
