About
My path to Markov Creative started long before it became a business.
After many years of photographing my own outdoor adventures, I decided in 2021 to shift gears from a career in engineering and pursue photography professionally. I spent the next few years photographing architecture and products for a local business, developing my skills in composition, lighting, colour, and editing while learning how strong visual content can help tell a story.
In 2025, I expanded that focus into video and content creation by enrolling in the Content Creation and Strategy Post-Graduate Certificate program at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario. I completed the program in April 2026, adding video production, social media content, storytelling, and content strategy to my photography background.
Today, Markov Creative brings those experiences together — the planning and attention to detail of my engineering background, years spent photographing the outdoors, and the storytelling skills I’ve developed through photography, video, and content creation.
I work with outdoor, tourism, arts, and experience-based organizations across Central Ontario to create authentic photography, video, and social media content that helps people connect with places, products, and experiences.
If you have a story or experience worth sharing, I’d love to hear about it.
