I was born in South Africa, lived in Canada and Australia, eventually settling in Ottawa, Canada. This photographer's journey started in the 90's as a way to document my travels.
As an engineer by training, photography presents the ideal synergy between art and technology. I started with a simple Nikon film camera, developing and printing in our basement. The easiest was to do black and white film. This lead to many projects exploring lines and textures. Much cigar smoke and many packs of paper later I switched to digital.
My photographic journey has touched on a number of styles and genres. Travel, wildlife, boudoir, nude, portrait, professional portraits, weddings and commercial to name a few. Today I do digital photography on site, in my home studio and at Bjork Photography in Almonte with my trusty Nikon kit, assisted by my wife Dina who will also style our art projects.
Photography is a tool with powerful transformative power to change lives. The pursuit of technical perfection, capturing honest emotions and making a positive impact is a strong driving force in my life. Every moment is new, I'm capturing a wonderful world vanishing before my eyes.
