From a young age, I was always drawing—sketching with charcoal and graphite, lost in my sketchbook. I loved how my work got better over time and the way it made me feel connected to the moment. That passion led me to showcase my work at an art gallery, where I got to share that energy with others. But life took me in a different direction, and I put down the sketchbook when I went to university.Then in 1982, I picked up a camera for the first time and quickly realized photography gave me the
same freedom. What started as casual fun with friends and family turned into a love for street photography—especially in places like Toronto, New York, and India. There was something about the stories unfolding on every street corner that grabbed me. It wasn’t long before I started shooting weddings, and I was hooked. The way I could capture the emotions, the real, raw moments of love—it felt like I had found my true calling.
