Published Food Photographer
In 2010 I was fortunate to meet the publisher and editor of a local foodie magazine, and started to collaborate with them to provide food photos. Since then I have had hundreds of my photos published in the magazine, including 13 cover shots. I learned a lot along the way and want to share my knowledge with you.
Training
I got my first camera at age 16 and learned a lot by trial and error. When I decided to take photography seriously, I earned a Photography Certificate from SAIT, in Calgary, Canada, and have worked as a pro photographer since 2008, specializing in food and business branding photography.
International Recognition
In 2021 and 2022, some of my food photographs were shortlisted for the prestigious Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year awards. What an honour! With over 10,000 entries to this global competition, I was thrilled (you might say tickled pink) to be selected for the shortlist.
