About Me

Hi, I’m a Canadian photographer with a deep love for capturing the world through my lens—whether it's a quiet moment in nature, a face filled with character, or a landscape that tells a story. For years, I’ve explored and documented abandoned places through Freaktography.com, but as my passion for photography has evolved, so has my creative focus. TheCanadadianLens.ca is where I showcase my favourite images from all genres: travel, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, and everything in between.
