I recently moved to Canada with my family so my boys can attend high school here. I will still visit Taiwan and we plan to move back when our boys graduate. In the meantime I will post unpublished photos of Taiwan here

I lived in Southern Taiwan for thirty years and have been shooting and selling photographs professionally since 1998. I’ve been published in many national/international magazines, newspapers, websites and books (for a more complete list and tear sheets, see here). Specializing in editorial and portrait photography, I have amassed a large archive of Taiwan photos of which only a small sampling is online on Photoshelter. If you are looking for something, send a request, I’ll do my best to fill it.

My fluency in Taiwan’s language and culture lends a unique perspective to my photography and with my in-depth knowledge of Southern Taiwan acquired in the twenty years I’ve lived here, I wrote and photographed the southern section of the Michelin Green Guide for Taiwan, first edition.

I specialize in creating professional photographs Taiwan’s vibrant folk religion (Taoism), Aboriginals, mountains and am available for assignment and location work throughout Asia.
