I was born and grew up in
Toronto, Canada. Never quite sure what I wanted in life, I fell into many things by accident. Photography, Web Concept development and Creative Direction are just a few examples.
I played drums in a few punk rock groups, one of which, the “
Existers”, with the single “Telex Love” was produced by
John Cale. Another, the “
Poles”, had a semi-successful hit called “
CN Tower”.
After a serious accident where I fell from a five meter mezzanine, I literally fell into photography. There was a photographer taking photos at the party and I landed on his toe!!!
My second shoot was an advertising campaign in Toronto. While in
Toronto, I was the first Canadian photographer to shoot
Kim Alexis, which I did for the cover of
Chatelaine.
I moved to
Los Angeles and stayed there for just over a year before moving to
New York. In NY, I shot quite a few campaigns as well as the Dayton Hudsons Christmas book with
Andie MacDowell,
Elle MacPherson,
Bitten Knudsen. I have worked with some of the classic great top models like
Angie Everhart,
Laetitia Firmin-Didot,
Carole Alt,
Helena Christensen,
Kirsten Owen,
Karen Mulder,
Adriana Sklenarikova Karembeu,
Brooke Shields,
Kim Alexis,
Janice Dickinson and more recently with
Irina Lazareanu and
Tetyana Brazhnyk… etc. I also shot several covers for
Vogue South America.
I then moved to
Milan where I shot for
Harper’s Bazaar and
Cosmopolitan. I came back to Toronto for a short stint before a friend suggested that I try
Paris.
After six weeks in
Paris, I was given an opportunity to shoot the
Haute Couture for
L’Officiel. Since then, Paris has become my base.
I also consult as a creative director for worldwide agencies and clients.
Some of the magazines I have been published in include :
Vogue Italy, Vogue Paris, Vogue Brasil, Elle (Spain, Portugal and Greece editions), L’Officiel Paris, New York Daily News Fashion, New York Times Magazine – Fashion Supplement, Women’s Wear Daily, Harper’s Bazaar Italy, Cosmopolitan (France and Italy), Votre Beauté, “W” Magazine UK, Biba, Flare, Glamour (French), Chatelaine, Amarta, 100 Cose, Madame Figaro, Dealer Deluxe, Oyster Magazine, Deutsch Magazine, Icon, Issue One, Tank, No Name magazine, West East Magazine, Jardin des Modes, Dépêche Mode…
