I am a Toronto based photographer and my images explore the tension between presence and absence, solitude and connection, within the vastness of the urban landscape. Through a minimalist, neo-noir approach, I use light, shadow, and geometry to frame fleeting moments where figures drift through the city, isolated yet intertwined with their surroundings.
Influenced by the poetic minimalism of Fan Ho, the layered, reflective compositions of Saul Leiter, and the atmospheric tension of Hitchcock, my images embrace deep contrasts, negative space, and soft glows of artificial light. Like Edward Hopper’s paintings, I am drawn to the quiet, in-between moments where people seem suspended in time, framed by architecture, reflections, or the glow of city lights.
Whether in color or monochrome, my work aims to distill the city into something both expansive and intimate. I seek to evoke the feeling of existing within but apart from the pulse of the city, and the way emptiness itself can be as expressive as presence.
