Q & A:

What's your favorite type of shoot?

I approach every shoot with the same high level of care and consideration. But I especially love being selected for new designers/brands. The opportunity to establish an aesthetic for an identity so precious and new is something I honor and regard as extra special.

I like the playlist. Is this yours?

It is. I am highly opinionated when it comes to musical taste. Some have said discriminating. Others have called it judgmental. I keep a couple "Studio" playlists that can please most of the people most of the time. But if it were totally up to me, we'd be listening to The Cure.

What inspires you?

Locations. A rack of good clothes. Having a plan and (sort of) sticking to it. But above all, working with people I trust. People who support and encourage each other. And who curse a lot.

Pet peeves?

Tardiness. Vegan food. Conceited people. Sports. The phrase "we can fix it in post" when it would take 30 seconds to fix now. Cats.

Are you Canadian?

You shut your dirty mouth.
