Moving Worlds
In the summer of 2023, I had the opportunity to put together my first Gallery Show courtesy of the fine folks at the Danu Social House. You can see prints from the show below, as well as my artist excerpt.
I fell in love with a camera at the age of eight. My dad first lent me his Minolta film camera while we were camping in the deserts of Abu Dhabi. From that moment on I saw life through a lens, attempting to capture fleeting moments of time. The view-finder guided me through the shadows and highlights of my life.
I moved to Canada to start a new chapter of life in engineering school. In my second year of school, a chance encounter with a photographer shooting on the same camera as my dads, led to a conversation, then an improptu photoshoot which blossomed into an unrelenting obsession with the art of photography. The deeper I went into that world the more things started to feel right. From printing for hours in a darkroom, to paying the bills developing film for others, to shooting with large format cameras, immersing myself in art gave meaning to my days.
I now find myself working in the fashion industry as both a photographer and creative director. Throughout my artistic career, nothing has brought me more joy than freezing a moment in time.
Moving Worlds depicts a journey through the various landscapes life has taken me to. From the deserts of Abu Dhabi, to the cities of Canada, to the breathtaking wilderness around us all.
