I really enjoy winter and snow photography and so this time of year is one of my favourite times to shoot. I think snow and ice offer many opportunities to get creative. Although the extreme Toronto cold means I usually can’t stay out that long before my fingers freeze…

Toronto Ice Storm 2013
Toronto’s Ice Storm 2013 did more than damage trees… the weight of the ice also broke power and telephone lines and left thousands of people without electricity on one of the coldest nights of the year. We were fortunate to have power throughout, as crews work 24 hours to restore power. The ice storm made for some beautiful photography as long as I was very careful in getting my shots. It was treacherously slippery underfoot and the last thing I wanted was to slip and fall. I was very happy to get these shots.
Tower Bridge London
Tower Bridge is an amazing bridge to walk or drive across. The incredible size of the towers makes you feel you’re entering a gateway into a different kingdom, instead of just moving from one bank of the River Thames to the next!
Blackfriars Railway Bridge
In my photo you can see the columns of Blackfriars Bridge peeking out from the leftmost arch of the railway bridge – they really are that close! I like to think of bridges as works of art themselves, which is why I like to capture them and offer them as fine art prints.
