These pieces are from the Singular Improbabilities - a surreal cycle of images hat combine models shot in the studio with backgrounds shot across Europe and North America

After university I became a commercial photographer specializing in fashion and architecture. Since those days I taught art photography, photo journalism and the history of photography at the University of Victoria for many years. I lecture and write about the history of photography, especially the nude and the portrait. My work lies near an intersection between Piero della Francesca and Salvador Dali, between Sandro Botticelli and Paul Delvaux with a clear nod to Rubens and William Mortensen. I work out of a beautiful large studio in Victoria's historic Chinatown.
