SNOWSHOEING IN VANCOUVER
We went snowshoeing for the first time in Vancouver up on Seymour Mountain in North Van, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip.
Even when I’m technically on holiday, I can’t really turn off the part that looks for new things to shoot. This time it was all cold, quiet, overcast, and white. No dramatic light, no big colors.
It was a great workout too. Way harder than it looks and definitely satisfying moving around the mountain on foot instead of on a bike.
I didn’t go up there with a “project” in mind but that’s often when the interesting stuff happens.
VANCOUVER’S HASTINGS & MAIN
Viewer discretion is advised.
These photos were taken around the Hastings and Main area of Vancouver, a few blocks that is known for some of the city’s most visible and complicated problems. Heavy drug use, homelessness, mental health struggles, and everyday life all goes on within feet of each other. Sometimes literally on the same sidewalk.
I wasn’t there with a point to prove. This was more of a walk with a camera, documenting what’s happening in plain sight. Some moments felt tense and others strangely calm.
Most of these images were shot on an iPhone 17 Pro. A couple were taken with a dedicated camera, but the phone felt appropriate. Quick and unobtrusive. It allowed me to work without turning the act of photographing into a production or a spectacle. Just observation.
This isn’t meant to romanticize the area or sensationalize it. There’s nothing glamorous about what’s happening here, and there are no easy answers. It’s simply a photos of a place that carries a lot of weight - socially, politically, and emotionally, and a reminder of how close these realities are to everyday life.
VIDEO: THE PALM CANYON TRAILS
A short film I shot and edited for my YouTube channel, Ride OC. I'm drawn to the look and feel of 1950s documentary and instructional films - that mid-century aesthetic keeps finding its way into my work. These projects let me experiment with production techniques and color grading while keeping my video skills sharp.
ALASKA: GLACIERS & MOUNTAINS
Alaska has been on my bucket list for years - glaciers, mountains, and that northern landscape. We cruised through Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway, took a train deep into the mountains, sampled incredible seafood, and spent time with native artwork and totem poles. I shot everything - landscapes, wildlife, small town scenes, whatever told the story of the trip.
ISLAND TIME IN THE BAHAMAS
A family trip to the Bahamas with a stop in Nassau - soaking up the laid-back island pace and capturing beach scenes, street life, and the easy rhythm of island living. The relaxed vibe made it easy to keep the camera out and just shoot what felt right. A few favorites from the trip.
COZUMEL & CAYMAN ISLANDS
A trip through Cozumel and the Cayman Islands with a camera.
A quick trip through Cozumel and the Cayman Islands with a camera - capturing local color and whatever caught my eye along the way. The early morning light on the boat between islands was amazing, and Mexico’s flavors and energy never disappoint (tacos and tequila - ‘nuff said). These are some of my favorites from the trip.
