The art of photography first inspired Ed through the pages of a fashion
magazine. He began chronicling his own slant on life, capturing images
through patience and observation, and stealing in an instant a snapshot
for perpetuity.
Complementing his natural sensitivity to light is Ed’s ability to
intuit the emotional landscapes of his subjects, thereby capturing
spirit along with form. This applies not only to his animate subjects,
but to the inanimate as well. Under the right light and at the proper
angle, he is able to relay the fervor of a room crowded with a
fanatic’s memorabilia or the solace offered within an ancient temple
glowing in the afternoon sun.
Ed’s photo subjects range from awe-inspiring architectural structures
and statuesque demi-goddesses of the runway to delicate wings of
butterflies and fragile expressions of children. Where Ed’s passion
flairs the most is rooted in that very first fashion magazine that
caught his eye. In fashion photography, whether set in the studio or on
location, Ed is able to find perfect images amidst the choreography and
the chaos. He captures the best angles from the seven elements
available to him: composition, lighting, set, subject, style, make-up,
and hair. Ed has worked with luxury goods and fashion houses throughout
Asia to create images that best fit the brand.
Born and raised in Calgary, Canada, Ed has been based in Hong Kong for
the past six years and has traveled around the world. Ed’s travel
images recount his adventures and take you on a journey as well,
trekking through valleys and streams in South-East Asia, or
interviewing a goat lounging beside a Pakistani highway.
