Blur.

A slow shutter project that I created in college and have carried through with some different methods and on models.

I used to shoot street photography. Street photography is how I got myself into MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto. I was given a ticket to Farley Chato and I never looked back.

The beginning of photography for me was capturing moments and I loved doing that on the street. I did’t always have a focus on what I was capturing, I was just photographing people. I am fascinated by people.

I am also fascinated with movement, with motion. I always try to portray a bit of it in my work. Lately I am pushing that further after remembering a project I did while I was studying at Langara.

When I moved back to Vancouver from Toronto in 2015 I started taking courses in photography in the Continuing Studies program at Langara. One of those classes opened up a creative side of me that had been dormant for a while. It sent me back out to the street and because I fumbled my exposure settings I was right back in that feeling I had in Toronto of capturing people on the side walk with motion.

I have resurrected this slow shutter capturing of motion for my current long term project, Alone Together in a Room.
