Born in 1956 in Vancouver (Canada), he lives and works there.
He exposes the systems of representation derived from the media sphere, a system that functions essentially as a process of identification, as a model. His photographs speak of social identity as an identity that has moved from the generic to the specific. Identity has become synonymous with branding, like the image of a brand.
