About me

Hi. I’m Simon. Sorry for having my back to you but I usually prefer being be behind the camera than in front of it.

I first started taking photographs when I was travelling through Europe in the 90s. I borrowed my brother’s Minolta X-700 film camera and eagerly set out to capture the world. Sadly, it would have helped if I knew how to use the camera. The photos were horrible (if I managed to get a photo), and to add insult to injury, the camera was also stolen.

Undeterred, my love of travel and my persistence over the intervening years has allowed me to continually develop and grow as a photographer. While I started as a traditional landscape / travel photographer, I now focus mostly on candid street photography and concert photography.

I am based in Toronto, Canada, but am often travelling to see and capture the world. Thanks for stopping by.

Feel free to contact me to say hi or if you have any questions.
