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
