First Project with Trillium Health Partners

I wrapped up my first video project with Trillium Health Partners just over a week ago and it’s a real tear jerker.

Corey Groves is a Brampton teen who six months ago was diagnosed with stage four sarcoma cancer. This is a rare and aggressive form of cancer with a 15 percent survival rate. Despite this, Corey tries to remain positive by focusing on the things he loves most, like his family and basketball. His dream is to meet his favourite player and one of the all-time greats, LeBron James.

When Toronto Raptors Super Fan Nav Bhatia heard about this he decided to pay Corey a surprise visit… and he came bearing some good news.

I was happy to see that on Christmas Day Corey’s wish had come true!

Happy Holidays Corey!

Long Time No Post // POTD 07.12.19

I have been neglecting my social media accounts and website lately. I swear there is a good reason! I’ve been in the process of starting a new job. I’m no longer working in electronic field production with Woodbine Entertainment Group. Just this week I started my new roll with the communications team at Trillium Health Partners as their video production specialist. I can’t wait to share some of the new content I’ll be creating.

For now I’ll share this fun pair of images from Sri Lanka. The edit on these were inspired by an incredible set of photos from a photographer named Richard Mosse taken in the Congo using Kodak Aerochrome film. The film renders the lush green landscape into a surreal array of pinks and reds. Unfortunately this type of film has been discontinued and is extremely tough to come. I couldn’t get my hands on any so I just did my best to replicate it in Photoshop. I hope you enjoy. :)

Catch me at the Climate Strike, how ‘bout that?

I’m planning on getting out to the Climate Strike in Toronto tomorrow. There are Climate Strikes happening all across Canada, so be sure to take a look HERE to see where the nearest strike will be to you. Hope to see you out there!

I was feeling pretty inspired by Greta Thunberg’s speech to the world leaders at the UN Climate Change Summit, so I drew this portrait of her on procreate.

TSN Woodbine Mile Feature - Meet Track Photographer Michael Burns Jr.

Meet Woodbine's legendary track photographer, Michael Burns Jr.

While at Woodbine Entertainment I’ve often found myself working in close quarters with Michael Burns, but I haven’t ever really had the chance to chat with him for any extended period of time. While shooting this feature I basically shadowed Burns for a couple days, so naturally we had a lot of time to talk. It was a great opportunity for me as a photographer to see how he works and pick his brain. I had a great time following him around and getting some insight into his daily workflow. Not only is he an amazing photographer but he is also a stand-up-guy.

I was blessed with some amazing light on a few of these shoot days which was really great, especially when you’re telling the story of a photographer. Below are a few screen grabs of the incredible light we were blessed with.

This feature was shot for the TSN Woodbine Mile Show which aired on September 14, 2019.

POTD 18.09.19 - Ania + Mark Wedding

Had a lovely time shooting Mark and Ania’s big day. Here are a few of my favourite images captured from their wedding.

Hello Begonia and Congrats!

Congrats to Winnipeg musician Begonia on her album release. Gave it a listen today and it is just delightful. I’d suggest you give it a go as well! FEAR - BEGONIA

A few years back I shot a few videos of them for a local radio station to promote her music. The band was a pleasure to work with and I wish them all the best on this newest album.
