Red Bull Rising Talent Canada 2019

Last summer I was invited to be a part of Red Bull’s Rising Talent workshop in Toronto and it ended up being the most intense, educational week ever. Myself and seven other photographers from around Canada were immersed in the world of Red Bull’s action sports photography - mornings were spent learning about strobe lighting, social media, and the business of photography; afternoons we were thrown into photo challenges. By the time we got to the final day and we all had our photos critiqued, I was so exhausted but so sad to leave everybody and the little bubble of creativity, inspiration, and motivation we got to live in. It was an unforgettable learning experience that I’m so grateful I got to be a part of.

Red Bull Music Academy | Bass Camp Calgary 2019

When I first jumped on a call to discuss Bass Camp with the Red Bull team it felt like this was exactly what my photography career was building up to. You want me to be a fly on the wall at the gorgeous National Music Centre and document the country’s up and coming vocalists, DJs, producers, and beatmakers while they sat in on lectures held by amazing industry legends and collaborated in the studio? Hell yeah!

Bass Camp might’ve been the most stressful and intense weekend of shooting but man, it was so so fun. All the participants were so cool and it was always a treat to pop into a studio to hear what somebody was working on. I can’t wait to see where all these talented people go from here.
