“I’m incredibly proud to have an image or mine chosen yet again to showcase Canadian talent on a global stage. What makes this experience so special is the unique spirit of the World Photographic Cup — we are not just competing individually; we’re all on the same team, supporting and rooting for each other. It’s a chance to build camaraderie, share in each other’s successes, and bring Canada together in the world of photography.”
2025 – Reportage / Photojournalism
Heroes are often celebrated in various forms, but nothing quite compares to the extraordinary bravery I witnessed firsthand with the Canadian Coast Guard. Capturing an image of a Search and Rescue (SAR) technician descending from a helicopter highlights the heart-pounding reality of their work. These individuals risk everything, diving into the unknown to save others, embodying true heroism in every sense. I feel privileged to provide a glimpse into the lives of these dedicated professionals, sharing a moment that reflects the incredible courage it takes to be a true hero. Through my lens, I hope to honor their commitment and inspire others to recognize the sacrifices they make daily.
