About the Artist

I am a photographer who has worked in commercial, corporate and editorial photography through the 1990s and 2000s following attaining my BAAP (Photographic Arts Degree) from Ryerson University (now TMU). Having spent my working career in photography and marketing I now focus on creating images for personal enjoyment and sharing with you.

As you can see by the photo to the left, I am Maltese/Canadian. If you've ever visited either country, you may understand a bit about me, and my heritage and its effect on what you see in my work.

I get around on and off road by Jeep and motorcycle, which enables me to get to just about anywhere and provides me with the opportunity to feel quality* and show views that not everyone can easily get to or may not smell, feel or notice.  

Presented here are photos of the destination (not known until I get there) and, more importantly, the voyage (cliche but true), which is always a loose idea waiting to be formed by the wind. No statements. Just presentations.

All of my work is a work-in-progress. I cherish the aforementioned voyage. Please have a look at the Current Personal Work page on this website. There you will see what I'm currently working on, which I try to update frequently. I welcome comments, feedback, criticism and discussion.

If you're a photographer, or artist of any kind (intentionally a broad stroke), and are interested in ongoing conversation please participate in the DotLife Collective. Check it out here: dotlife.ca. 

Thank you for taking the time to view my work. I mean that.

Sincerely,
Mark S
