A1, Saturday Star

Toronto Star - A1 Oct 17 09

A1, Saturday Star, October 17, 2009

Sorry for the lack of updates. Since embarking on my own, I’ve been pretty swamped with freelance life. I will update properly in the next while. Thanks for checking!

Today marks my first day as an official freelance photographer in the big smoke. I finished my summer-long contract at the Toronto Star last Friday, September 11th. Never forget. It was a truly rewarding and humbling experience, grinding with some of the best news photographers this country has to offer. Thanks to a most welcoming and talented staff for letting me grow with you.

When Darkness Falls

I recently completed a 2-day documentary workshop with legendary documentary photographer Donald Weber.

He gives you a week to complete an assignment series and helps to sequence and edit it at the end of that week. It was a truly enriching experience and fascinating to watch him think. My topic was “what emerges from the woodwork when darkness falls.” It was a challenging experience but I think I walked away with a new lease on storytelling. Here is a taste of what I did last week…I plan to continue this project in the months to come, but with a tweaked focus.
