Basic street photography set up:
I love this city. I’ve been here my whole life. It has a special feel to it. Might be the fact that we had the world’s tallest building for a few decades. It might be the lake. It might just be the fact that we a multi-cultural and growing city!
Whatever it is, I like to see it at all different angles. Daytime or night time.
Booked by the biggest Kickboxing organization on the planet: GLORY WORLD SERIES.
Just before one of his championship bouts, Simon Marcus asked me to take a photograph of him and his belts.
Can’t say I’m the biggest fan of spiders, but they say it’s good to confront your fears. Not sure what possessed me enough to take this one, and move within a few centimetres of it with a macro lens for this impromptu arachnid photo shoot.
It isn’t always about work. Sometimes you got to take a break, like swinging at 85mph fastballs (No cell phones were harmed in the making of this video)
No doubt, one of the most memorable moments of my life.
I have always heard of the legendary Whistler-Blackcomb mountain in British Columbia. I have seen photos or snow capped peaks, and even dreamed of making it out there “one day”.
It was in 2014, I was contracted to do a commercial promo video that required “Amazing, jaw dropping, Canadian footage” and to top things off, production was to take place in BC.
There was no thought of where I wanted to go to capture such imagery.
The drive up from Vancouver was incredible and breath taking in itself. Arriving there, however, was a whole different experience.
To stand at the foot of these two mammoth mountains surrounded by chalet-style buildings in the skiiers village was a moment I where I just stood by and absorbed.
The ride of the gondola, was also an adventure to take in.
Here is a video I captured with my phone in the glass covered vessel traveling high into the sky
After the gondola ride up to the Roundhouse, I climbed up some more by foot and found a higher peak where I set up my camera to take some photos.
There was nothing but the sky above and the world below.
A moment I will never forget.
It was sometime in 2004 when I first met this couple. They were friends of the family, and I spent some time with them at social gatherings.
They hired me to create their wedding video a year later.
The day was memorable, but shortly after, life took us in different directions.
Time passes so fast. But wouldn’t you know that after 10 years of marriage, this same couple contacted me to see if I would like to capture a photo of the family they now had.
I took them to one of my favourite spots, and this is the one I think will march on with them as more years and decades pass.
