I'm a creative photographer in Montreal, Canada.
I took my first photograph with a Kodak Brownie when I was eight years old. When I was 14, my grandmother Margaret Dyment Landry gave me her Leica 35 mm rangefinder camera and hand-held light meter. That's when I started exploring the world.
My mother Mary Skelton Landry was a portrait and nature photographer. She taught me to develop film and print black and white photographs in her darkroom in the basement of our home.
I eventually pursued a career as a teacher, first in early childhood education and later in English as a second language.
Several years ago I decided to devote more time to photography. My principal focus is the interplay between individuals and society.
I use a Canon 6D Mark ii DSLR camera with a Canon 50 mm f/1.4 lens. I also use a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra mobile phone.
