I create to reveal the unnoticed unfiltered moments and quiet truths most people overlook.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create documentary-style photography that feels raw and unposed. I’m drawn to real moments street scenes, friends, quiet in-between spaces
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life walking the city, conversations with friends, music, and the feeling of being present. Toronto, Banff, and the contrast between them shaped how I see things. I’m inspired by people when they’re not performing, just existing. That’s where the real story is.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest it into building my creative platform upgrading gear, producing a photo series, and funding a small run of prints through my brand, Think Thank Company. I’d also use it to travel, document new environments, and create work that pushes my style forward while building something long-term.
