“My work tells visceral, gripping stories that highlight our shared humanity and inspire us to believe in the best of ourselves. I seek cinematic images in the bleakest places, humour found in hard times, stories of hope amid horror.”

I recently put down my camera, picked up a pen and began a publication on Substack called Fragments of Light

“Seeking a new way to imagine and relate to the sacred,
our greatest hope amid the crisis of our civilization.”
