Behind the lens

Reading the light, guiding the subject, and making the camera feel like part of the conversation.

Photography / Creative Direction

Shoots with intent.

I plan and shoot portraits, products, and location-led visuals for artists, founders, and brands. From the shot list and styling to lighting, capture, and final colour, every decision supports where the image needs to live.

What is the Studio?

Night Crawler Studio is my independent creative practice — the space where client constraints disappear and pure visual exploration takes over.

The studio produces brand identities, poster design, art direction, and social media systems for clients and personal projects. Every piece starts from a single question: what does this feel like?

This is where I push typographic limits, experiment with composition, and build visual identities from the ground up.

What the Studio Produces

Brand Identity

Logo systems, colour palettes, brand guidelines

Poster Design

Event, editorial, and art-direction posters

Social Media

Repeatable content templates and visual systems

Art Direction

Visual strategy for shoots and campaigns

Work With the Studio

The studio produces brand identities, campaign systems, and content design for clients who prioritise craft over volume. Engagements are selective — built around problems worth solving.

Based in Waterloo, Canada. Working globally.
