Pacific White-sided Dolphins are one of my favourite marine mammal species to observe on the British Columbia coast. On an a particularly misty summer evening in British Columbia's Discovery Islands, I was treated to a pod of Pacific White-sided Dolphins playfully launching themselves into the air in absolutely stunning atmospheric conditions. This is one of the resulting photos!

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
