Hi there! I'm Ol, but you can call me "French." I'm a dreamer at heart, a designer by trade, an explorer by passion, and a cheerful Northerner on a mission to leave the world a better place than I found it.

When I'm not busy creating adventures, working with community programs, or managing basecamps, you can find me enjoying a double espresso, savouring a cold Guinness, or treating myself to a dry martini (on special occasions). I love spending time by the water, tackling hills, or getting lost in a great book by a cozy fire. But my true happiness is found outdoors, hiking up hills or cruising on a lake with my dogs and cameras.

Photography is my creative outlet, and my cameras are my constant companions. I have a Fujifilm X-T30, Canon AE-1, Leica M4, Bronica S2A, and my cherished Mamiya RB67. I adore capturing moments with these, and I'm always on the lookout for more cameras to add to my collection. Each camera and film type brings its own magic to my photography, adding depth and richness to my work.

I'm also deeply committed to fostering courageous conversations. Creating spaces where authenticity and vulnerability can thrive is my passion. Whether through my photography or in everyday interactions, I strive to inspire meaningful connections and bring people closer together.

So, whether I'm behind the lens, planning new adventures, or enjoying a well-crafted drink by the fire, I invite you to join me on this vibrant journey. Every hill climbed, every lake explored, and every photo taken tells a unique story.

Step into my world and let's create something amazing together.

Ol.

As my closest mate would say: "Decent, dedicated, committed, and passionate to a fault, this lad will liven up any room."

if my heart can believe it,
then I can achieve it.”
