About Me



I studied Acting in New Brunswick and Vancouver, and my experiences in film and theatre usually find their way into to my photography.I have been involved in the film industry for 5 years, and during that time I have been continually building my Photoshop and photography skills.In the future, Belding Studios plans to expand to the Entertainment Industry on a wider scale and be more involved in producing Feature Films and Television.A special thanks to all those who have helped me develop my photo skills, and special thanks to Drew, who has been my assistant on several shoots.
