The funny thing about this image is that it was never meant to happen. At least, not like this.

I had originally planned to photograph a model that evening, but a last-minute rehearsal pulled her away. The conditions were too perfect to walk away from; the light was golden, the air still, and we were only about 30 minutes from sunset. I didn’t want the opportunity to slip away, so I grabbed my gear and ran down to the location I had scouted earlier, just to test a few frames for a future shoot.

What unfolded instead was unexpectedly personal.
Shooting this as a self-portrait meant sprinting into frame, then waiting for the water to settle, letting the ripples caused by my own movement fade. In those forced moments of stillness, standing alone beneath an endless sky, something shifted. Peace arrived. And with it, a quiet kind of serendipity.

Funny how the test shot became the final shot.

ABOUT THE EDITIONS

Each piece is available in limited runs and produced to museum-grade standards. As editions sell, prices may increase. The current listed price reflects early availability.

  • Studio Stamped Editions
    These unsigned prints bear a discreet embossed stamp of authenticity from the artist’s studio. A perfect starting point for new collectors or those looking to gift fine art with provenance.

  • Signed Limited Editions
    Individually numbered, hand-signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Created in extremely limited quantities, these editions are intended for seasoned collectors and investors alike.

PRINTING

Printed and framed locally in Canada, each piece is produced on artist-grade, acid-free, 100% cotton, 310gsm photo paper using archival pigment inks for lasting colour fidelity and depth.

FRAMING OPTIONS

To preserve the quality of your artwork and minimise risk in transit, we recommend ordering unframed if you are located outside Toronto. Your local framer will be able to mount your piece to your preferences.

For collectors in the Greater Toronto Area, we offer custom framing as an add-on. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang in a 1.25" handcrafted frame with a 2" matte border and museum-quality Artglass (70% UV protection, anti-reflective).
