On Monday I got up at the crack of dawn to catch the early morning light at the Abbottsford Convent. I experimented with the different manual settings on my camera, taking photos with my model Linden.

 I am interested in the unconventional framing of subjects in a photograph. This photo is an example of when I tried to do this.

I hardly ever direct my models. I like the idea of capturing a moment in time that is organic and real, not telling someone to look a certain way. Because I feel this is real life, and it is real life that I am interested in capturing in my work.

I rarely edit my photographs, not even cropping them.
