TheUglyBiker was born ringside — built on the raw energy of combat sports, where a fraction of a second separates a knockout shot from a missed one. That same intensity carries into everything we shoot.
Whether it's cageside at a fight card, deep in the pits at a moto event, waist-deep in a river at first light, or tracking wildlife through the bush — we bring the same eye, the same grit, and the same refusal to shoot anything polished or fake.
Based in Ontario, Canada. Available everywhere the action is.
// The Photographer
I'm a middle-aged photographer who dodged the classroom and learned everything the hard way: by shooting in the wild, fixing what broke, and refusing to pick up a book. My work sits where grit meets grace — combat sports, moto culture, urban portraits, and the natural world.
Unconventionally trained through late-night shoots and a stack of busted gear that taught me what's important. I shoot with purpose and patience, favoring practical techniques that get results under real-world pressure — low light in a dingy gym, golden hour in a rusted lot, pre-dawn in a duck blind, or the precise split second when a punch lands and everything else freezes.
Clients hire me for straightforward storytelling and images that don't apologize. Outside the camera I'm a hunter, a fisherman, and a biker — which means I'm already comfortable in the places most photographers won't go. Whether it's a fight card, a back-country trail, or a stretch of water nobody else knows about, I'll be there before the light is right and stay until it's gone.
When I'm not behind the camera you'll find me on two wheels, in the bush, or on the water with my family. If you want a photographer who'll roll up their sleeves, find the story, and deliver something raw and unfiltered — let's talk.

Bikes, cars, track days, and garage culture. We shoot machines the way they deserve — with respect and a heavy hand on contrast.
Hunting, fishing, wildlife, and the outdoor life. Patient eyes, natural light, and a shooter who actually lives it — before dawn and after dark.
