Come to the Book Launch of Bodies in the Sun!!
Since the end of last summer, I’ve been building something that means a lot to me. Bodies in the Sun is a coffee table book made from photographs created during the summer of 2025 across Ottawa and beyond. What first began as a fun hobby of capturing my friends living their best gay summer lives became something deeper: a visual meditation on queer embodiment, friendship, and the fleeting intimacy of summer.
Launching this book feels both exciting and vulnerable. It would mean so much to celebrate it with me and many of the people featured in it. If you’ve been wondering whether to come, here are four reasons I’d love to see you there!
On Expressing Yourself
It is not easy being in front of the camera. I totally get it. But portraiture is every bit about collaboration. As your photographer, we will chat about ideas and expectations before our session begins! Don't be shy to share your vision, preferred angles, and desired expressions.
On Black & Whites
In a world filled with vibrant colors, there is a certain timeless and captivating quality to black and white photography that continues to inspire and captivate me. By stripping away the distraction of color, black and white photography allows me to delve deeper into the essence and emotion of the subject, revealing a raw and authentic narrative.
