I take photos. Driven by a passion for storytelling, I capture moments that are intimate, situational and visceral. I’ve shot advertising for British Airways, Coca-Cola, Nike and editorial for Dwell, ESPN The Magazine, and Esquire among others.
I make movies. Fed by my career as a photographer, I combine the dimensional moment of the still with the narrative of the moving image to tell a larger story. I’ve done work for Best Made Company, Canadian Tourism and Canadian Tire.
I was born in London, UK and moved to Canada when I was a young lad. My father had a job with Kodak and there were always cameras and carousels of slides around the house. We lived in Caledon, Ontario, a rural setting with a few acres where my brother, sister and I ran wild.
After completing a degree in English Literature, I traveled the world and moved to Toronto. I now live in the west end with my wife and daughter.
I enjoy finding elegant solutions to problems. I believe in working hard and being nice. I love happy accidents.
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
