Adventures in post-processing
I recently posted an image on Facebook and Instagram of the wonderful Imogen Quest. The Revival is one of my favourite clubs, Imogen is one of my favourite performers to shoot. and I particularly like to capture images of performers interacting with...
Looking back at my burlesque fine art prints
Up until 2013 I participated in several of the regular seasonal shows - The Artist Project, Riverdale Art Walk and Queen West Art Crawl in particular, as well as the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. I'd originally shown landscape work and then switched over to the...
Tiffany Carter, burlesque legend – a photo selection
Here is a selection of my images of Tiffany Carter from a number of events, starting with the 2011 Montreal Burlesque Festival as well as Gilrlesque shows here in Toronto in 2012 and 2014. She was one of the first performers I met in Montreal that...
Vicky Butterfly – One of the top 50 Burlesque Performers of 2016
It's always great to see performers succeed. I particularly like it when I've been lucky enough to photograph them on the local circuit or festivals, throughout or at some point in their careers. It was a triple header in this case to have photographed...
Thank (your deity here) for Adobe Lightroom when salvaging photos
I find photographing a show is pretty straightforward now that I've been at it for about 10 years. At this point I can predict that my starting settings for a venue like the Revival Club will be about 1/200 sec at f5.6 with an ISO averaging about 3200 or...

Kitten DeVille at the 2014 Toronto Burlesque Festival
Here's a selection of images from my work at the 2014 Toronto Burlesque Festival. This time I'm focusing on Los Angeles performer Kitten DeVille, who appeared in Friday and Saturday night shows. I've found that the more of a story or characterization there...
Case Air Wireless – Tethering and Camera Control System
I've been sporadically trying to set up a working wireless tethering system using my Nikon camera for several years. Nikon makes several wireless attachments, with their WT-5 being the one created specifically for use with my D4. At $800 CDN, though it's overkill...
Favourite opera images from 2016
This was the fifth year I photographed MainStage productions at the Canadian Opera Company, and my 9th shooting the Free Concert Series. It's been hard and sometimes frustrating work (large, ongoing learning curve) and a great opportunity. Here is a selection of my...
Favourite images from 2016 – small stage
Here's a fairly large selection of my favourite images from small stage performances I photographed in 2016. I didn't photograph as many shows as I have over past years, though the selection is large. So many performers and producers created so many great...

Fine Art Landscape Photography
Here is a selection of my landscape images. This is all older work, as I now primarily do figurative and theatrical work. Many are limited edition prints. I still have some inventory, framed and unframed, and am happy to print any of these for you if you're...
