Stonehill Farm
An abandoned mansion is only the beginning of Stonehill Farm. Near Maple Bay, its sawmill, stables, greenhouse and woodland waterfall offer distinctly different settings for photography. Having returned for Crescent & Steel, Veil of Shadows, Fallen and private shoots, I’ve come to appreciate how one property can suggest so many different stories.
Ophelia Photography
On a June evening in 2025, a quiet corner of Nanaimo’s Colliery Dam became the setting for Drown, Ophelia. Barb brought the initial concept; I connected it to Shakespeare. Between pale fabric, dark water and a decidedly unromantic lakebed, we made a series that later found its way into Portal Magazine’s 2026 issue.
Narrative Photography by Firelight
Kyra conceived Veil of Shadows as a story of two women summoning the dead. At Stone Hill Farm, Ollie Henderson joined my team as a makeup artist for the first time, and a working fireplace transformed our cold November shoot. Here’s how we brought the narrative photography series to life.
Six Strangers at the Stone Butter Church
When Kyra invited me to photograph six friends in Halloween costumes at Duncan’s Stone Butter Church, I took on my largest shoot yet—and my first with an entire cast of people I’d never met. Purge Night taught me about directing an ensemble, solving problems on set and building a story that extends beyond the frame.
