I was eight-years-old when the power of photography awoke me. To see time frozen changed my perspective. This was the late ’80s and it was the coolest thing I had seen, because it was a representation of how I saw the world. To share how I see the world. And today, it still has that exact effect on me. Capturing the beauty of a fleeting moment. The connections in life. My work is a testament to that.
Like a stiff drink after a long day, photography calms me. And it has taken me around the world to shoot—Ghana, Los Angeles, China, Amsterdam, Cuba, Sri Lanka, Detroit, Mexico, Ecuador, Chicago, Argentina, Kenya, New York City, Switzerland—and here at home in Toronto.
I aim to capture the beauty of fleeting moments. To share how I see the world.

Your photography is stunning! I wanted to comment on the post about your dog (but there was no place to) Your dog is super adorable!
Hi there! LOVE your photo of the Manhattan Bridge (here https://ryan-bolton.com/2012/08/21/new-york-city-via-instagram/manhattan-bridge-nyc/) and was wondering if you’d mind me posting this on Twitter – with your permission and credited of course – via Hooroo’s (an aussie travel company that I work for) account?
