THE SKILLSET

07

BEHIND THE LENS

We’re here to make good work without making the process feel like a chore.

We’ll build the concept, shape the story, obsess over the lighting, and probably try something slightly weird along the way. We direct when you need it, keep things moving when you don’t, and create an environment where people can actually have fun on camera. Because yes, the final images matter, but so does how you feel getting there.

MEET the founder

I'm the photographer, the editor, the guy who moves the couch for better light, and occasionally the hype man when someone's nervous in front of the camera.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before getting started, including helpful tips, essential details, and answers to common questions.

01
What kind of shoots do you actually do?

Portraits, weddings, brand campaigns, short films  basically anything that needs a camera and a good eye. Don't see your thing listed? Ask anyway.

02
How do we figure out what we're actually doing?

We hop on a quick call, you tell me the vision (or, if you have zero idea, that’s totally fine), and I turn that into an actual plan, including shot list, mood, locations, all of it.

03
How long until I see my photos?

Portrait and brand shoots usually turn around in about two weeks. Weddings and film projects take a bit longer, 3-4 weeks, because good edits take time and I'm a little bit of a perfectionist.

04
Do you travel for shoots?

Yep. Based in Toronto, happy to travel across Canada, or the world if the gig's worth the flight.
