onnor has been a creative person for as long as he can remember—whether it was playing with the family camcorder, building stories with Lego and stop motion, or producing a podcast, visual storytelling has always run through him. These days, the ideas are more ambitious, the learning curve steeper, and the use of technology deeper. When he’s not learning everything he can about camera technology, he’s catching up on the latest news in AI development, reading the newest book for his monthly podcast, or playing with his two cats.
After spending eight years in the fire sprinkler design industry, working as a blacksmith, managing art for a ceramist, marketing helmets at an international corporation, and teaching filmmaking to middle schoolers, his latest work has turned the camera back on himself. Through the process of a self-portrait series, he reflected on his journey to this point—the good and the bad—and focused on where he wanted his spirit to guide him. His passion remains in telling stories, meeting and working with people from all walks of life, and collectively building toward a better future.
