Anonymous asked: I saw you in skateboard canada a few summers back and instantly thought you were great. Ive wanted to photograph skateboarding/snowboarding for a career for a while now. How and where did you start?
Thank you…I started out shooting in Vegreville, Alberta at either 15 or 16. I moved to Edmonton at 17, then a year later made the move to Vancouver where I’m still living today. Nathan Matthews was my biggest inspiration. I studied his work, picked out details that I liked from each photograph and tried to apply them to mine. He was the only person I knew when I moved to Vancouver and he helped introduce me to the friends I’ve got today. Skateboard as much as you can, shoot everything, don’t be an asshole, and things will work out if you love it enough. Cheers.
