I was born in London, England, and raised in Inglewood, Ontario, a small rural town north of Toronto. I was introduced to the world of photography at young age by my father, a former employee at Kodak. I was often given different types of cameras and film to experiment with as a child. My photography teacher from high school, Mr. Francisco, was one of my early influences as well. He taught me about the properties of light, the basic camera mechanics, and photo printing, all while encouraging my early artistic development.
After studying English Literature at Bishop’s University in Quebec, I moved to Toronto where I eventually made the transition back to photography. At that time, I assisted many international and local photographers, and they contributed greatly to my understanding of the photographic process.
Currently, my clients include Forbes, The Guardian Weekend Magazine, New Scientist, Wallpaper, The Walrus and Wired. I am now working on a personal project based on reconstructing life changing events, and capturing the decisions made just before they happen.
Hey Finn! How are you? Hopefully you remember me, I was one of the models you used for your Motel series last FREEZING January!
Anyways I’ve been meaning to write you for a while – I was on a flight from Montreal to Toronto around Christmas and I saw your name credited for some photos! Amazing!
Anyways I was just looking at your website, and I saw under ‘People’ you have a photo of that old french guy who looks like Santa from the Quebec sucarie – what was his name again? I remember during the shoot we talked about how I did an editorial thing and had to hold his hand for one picture.
Anyways, I just thought I’d say hello!
Good luck with everything,
Shelagh.
Hey Finn,
I am pretty sure you are my sister Carrie O’Neill’s friend.
Amazing how much your work has progressed in three years!
Fantastic.
Would be great to work with you on one of your assignment if you are ever in need of an assist.
All the best,
Robin
