About Me & Contact

Plant scientist and scientific photographer working at the intersection of morphology, controlled-environment horticulture and high-magnification imaging.

About Me

I am a plant scientist and scientific photographer with a research background spanning horticulture, integrated pest management, and macro-scale imaging. My work sits at the intersection of rigorous science and visual communication.

I develop and apply precision imaging methods to document plant structures, arthropod interactions, and horticultural specimens with publication-quality results.

Currently based in British Columbia, I am pursuing graduate-level studies in plant sciences, with applied research experience through my affiliation with a research institute. I bring a methodical, detail-oriented approach to both laboratory work and fieldwork, and I am equally comfortable designing experimental protocols as I am behind a camera.

Special Skills

Scientific & Macrophotography

  • High-magnification macro imaging at and beyond 1:1 reproduction ratios
  • Focus stacking workflows for extended depth-of-field in specimen documentation
  • Polarized and diffused lighting design for glare-free surface detail
  • Production of publication-quality figures for peer-reviewed research contexts
  • Species identification support through morphological image documentation

Plant Science & Horticulture

  • Tropical and temperate plant identification, cultivation, and propagation
  • Integrated pest management and arthropod–plant interaction research
  • Precision fertilizer and solution chemistry (concentration calculations, EC/pH management)
  • Greenhouse environment management and climate system design

Research & Technical Writing

  • Scientific methods documentation and protocol development
  • Data collection, analysis, and visual presentation for research outputs
  • Familiarity with academic publishing standards and figure preparation guidelines

Electronics & DIY Technical Work

  • Equipment modification and custom hardware setups for imaging applications
  • Lighting system assembly and calibration (Godox and custom rigs)

Collaborations

I welcome inquiries related to scientific imaging projects, horticultural research, and methods development. Whether you are looking for a collaborator on a plant science study, need publication-quality macro photography of specimens, or are interested in discussing imaging protocols and equipment setups, I am happy to connect.

I am particularly interested in:

  • Collaborative research involving plant morphology, arthropod documentation, or horticultural specimens
  • Scientific figure production for manuscripts and publications
  • Methods consultation for macro photography workflows in research settings
