Showcase Union Gospel Mission

Currently, I work as the Photographer & Videographer on staff at Union Gospel Mission. The mission aims to journey with those unhoused, and suffering from the dehabiliting affects of addiction, through providing meals, shelter, and recovery services.

Within the creative services branch, I work with the team to provide the content that lives on multiple platforms: multiple social media channels, email newsletters, traditional TV & print advertising, and radio.

I aim to tell stories that highlight the agency of individuals who have gone through life’s journey, and partner with them to share their story in creative ways. This process begins with listening to a person’s story and understanding who they are, and what the story is that they’re trying to share for the rest of the community.

My role includes creative brainstorming, bringing to light new ways of shooting a story or filming a mini-documentary centering on a person’s own triumph in their journey to becoming themself. This means very different projects day to day, some days full of editing, other days driving to a location to spend some time with a person who is unable to travel.

Below are just some of the images I’ve been priveleged to capture as part of many stories.
