Many would agree that Polaroid cameras played a central role in bringing amateur photography into the bedroom. The introduction of the Polaroid camera allowed many would-be artists to immortalize the subjects of their desire without the need for intermediaries or expensive dark rooms. Instant prints made it possible to freeze private moments in time, making them available for future admiration, contemplation, and self-gratification. In the pursuit of the erotic, the Polaroid camera became the quintessential instrument for prolonging pleasure.
I was too young to understand this when I received my first Polaroid camera as a Christmas gift from my grandfather. It was only years later, when I got the chance to play with a digital camera for the first time, that I was able to recognize the erotic potential of a camera that could create images privately and instantly. After spending my formative years working with film, the arrival of digital opened up previously inaccessible possibilities for exploring the erotic, which I have been doing since 2009.
After getting my start in Montreal, I moved to Los Angeles for a number of years and got to work with some amazing people. Nowadays, I mostly spend my time in Ottawa (with occasional trips to Montreal), and collaborate with models on a talent exchange basis.
I'm also a dad, husband, imaginary rock star, internet streaker, and known spaceman among old friends.
