In this chaotic world, where hustle and bustle seem to dictate the pace, my personal project takes a contemplative pause to unveil the profound serenity of standing still within it. I embarked on a journey to uncover how the simple act of being present amidst the frenzy can be transformative, offering a sanctuary for meditation and reflection.
Diverging from the conventional stillness portrayed within vacant rooms or apocalyptic landscapes, my intent was to challenge this norm within the vibrant heartbeat of a bustling city. This series dares to find tranquility amid the urban symphony. We did try a few settings on the streets and also inside a fashion store. Yet, it was the ambiance of a quaint Chinese café, where dishwashers, chefs, waiters and the camaraderie of patrons, resonated most with Libby (the model) and myself.
As this series emerges as a testament to the power of poise amidst pandemonium, it merely marks the inception of a grander expedition. The goal is to continue this experiment with different models in crowded yet aesthetic scenarios.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I am an dad, coach, and photographer driven by my unwavering passion for capturing unique images of every person I encounter in my life. Whether it's in a corporate setting, at home, with family, or while living out their dreams, I strive to tell a story with each individual I photograph.
Having worked as a photographer in both New York and Canada, I've been fortunate enough to shoot fashion and lifestyle campaigns for a range of fashion brands, designers, magazines, and film events. Notably, in New York, I shot the entire catalog for Levi Strauss, as well as numerous corporate and business events.
I've collaborated with film directors on ad films and have directed a few of my own. Interacting with people from diverse backgrounds is one of my favorite aspects of my work, and I'm always eager to create a diverse portfolio that reflects a variety of personalities and lifestyles.
