It started with a Polaroid.

Some of my earliest memories with a camera came from playing with old Polaroids my parents had around the house. I grew up before camera phones made photography constant, so pressing the shutter and being able to see — and physically hold — the result moments later felt genuinely special.

I picked up a DSLR in high school and kept a camera close through those years and into my twenties. For a long time it was simply a way to document people, places and moments I wanted to remember, while giving me a creative outlet at the same time.

Cars were there even earlier. I grew up with the familiar exotic-car-on-the-wall fascination, then found the culture through games like Need for Speed Underground and the import meets of the early 2000s. Eventually that became owning and modifying cars of my own and building a business rooted in automotive culture.

Over time, those two interests naturally found each other. Today, automotive photography sits at the centre of my work, with that same visual approach extending into commercial, corporate and event assignments.
