Maye Musk (yes it's Elon Musk's mother)

When I got a call earlier this summer to photograph Maye Musk for the cover of DI Weekend I was a bit surprised, I was obviously familiar with her son Elon but didn’t know that much about his mother.
Turns out that Maye has been a professional model (and nutritionist) for the past 40 years and often brought her three kids with her when she was doing runaway shows. After the shoot we sat down for lunch and I asked, what her secret was to raising such talented children, she said "just let them be curious."

Portraits from California

After months of silence, it's time for an update! The last couple of months have been quite extraordinary in many ways (hence the lack of updates). The first trip of the year went to California - to photograph a group of very inspiring artists and entrepreneurs (escaping the dreadful NYC winter didn't hurt either). Next stop was Brazil to shoot Architecture at the incredible art center Inhotim, located in the middle of the Brazilian jungle (in the State of Minas Gerais).

After a few frenetic days in NYC, I was off to Hong Kong and Macau- where I met and photographed rooftop garden activists, eccentric chefs and eventually won $3 at the Greyhound Racing track in Macau. Recently, I went to Panama City for an architecture and travel story for enRoute (Air Canada's) in-flight magazine. More work from all these trips will eventually appear here - but let's start with some of my favorite frames from California:
