Kwame Delfish
Kwame Delfish, incredible brother and dope fine artist. I intially met Kwame through high school, though we didn’t talk much if at all since I was 2 years younger than him - no way the older dudes would hang with the younger ones, no way. I still remember thinking how cool the dude was back then(don’t let that get to your head Kwame!) Flash 12 years forward and Kwame makes a phone...

Eric "Eepmon" Chan
With many of my sessions there is always a great story behind each photo and this one was definitely one of them.

Both Beck Motley & Bon Voyage were super down to earth, especially since we grew up in the same area within Toronto - Scarborough, it was a good starting point and...

Off The Map Editorial with Noah Reid
I shot Noah Reid this fall for the 6th issue of Off The Map Webzine
Listening to Noah’s interview first hand at my studio along with the time I spent with him during the shoot I am certain he will be a very succesful actor, he really has his head on his shoulders for such a young man. I wish him the most of success and would enjoy shooting him again.
I also included a couple of shots...
