## Photography

I've built up my craft as a photographer over a number of years and thrived in turning it into an independent business.

Notable achievements include:
- Being a personal photographer for the Uber CEO
- Featured in local Toronto newspapers
- Having a photo as a wallpaper in every Google device

Today, my focus is on music photography where I capture my favourite artists at concerts or festivals.
