One snowy winter day at a Montréal café, a friendly man struck up a conversation with me as we ordered our mid-afternoon brew. While we enjoyed our drinks under a ledge outside the café window, he shared with me a lyric from Barbra Streisand's song, People:

"People who need people are the luckiest people in the world."

Despite my initial misunderstanding where I thought he had said "meet" instead of "need", these lyrics have continued to resonate with me since this serendipitous chat. While my creative process often takes on a solitary nature, people are the reason why what I do is so fulfilling. Whether in front of or behind the lens, my work would not be what it is without the presence of others.

This page features a selection of photos of some of the people (strangers, friends, or otherwise) I've encountered throughout the last few years of my life. It's been a pleasure to curate these now distant memories – I certainly hope viewing them will be one as well.
