I'm a documentary and street photographer based in Toronto. My inspiration and approach to photography are mainly derived from my interest in people and the human condition. My work is often process-driven yet documentary in execution and explores issues of identity and cultural nuances. When not focused on narrative-based projects, I love spending time outside photographing everyday life on the street.
