Author
His first hardcover photography book, The Wild Coasts of Canada, featuring images and stories from Canada's three ocean coastlines with a Forward by Freeman Patterson, was published in October 2019 through Rocky Mountain Books. This book won the Mountain Image Award in the 2020 Banff International Film and Book Festival.
“Opening this book is like stepping into a prestigious gallery. With each image we sink deeper into coastal culture, climate and community. The added attention to text makes the storytelling even richer. This book provides the reader with a lasting visual and literary impact.” – Helen Rolfe, 2020 Book Competition Jury
