Justin is a great great guy to work with. I like this pensive portrait because he is relaxed and unaffected. He likes to mug for the camera.

Some new marketing materials just came in!

This an inspiring little talk by Johnathon Vaughn Strebly on some of his personal work in The Tattoo Project.

I was fortunate to be part of the Interesting Vancouver 2011 event and shot the b-roll footage used to put together the video intro here. Thanks to Ryan Mah (@Unisonpress), Jana Hanova and Jake Hermiston for the video production.

A little bit of key shifting makes the most of Vancouver’s gloomy winters. Our model, Maria, was a trouper for braving the cold and windy rooftop in just a beater and jeans.

I may not look as shredded as Francis, but I’m going to try to be by this summer. This image is from a shoot with the trainers at West Coast Fitness.

You can start on your own shredded abs by signing up with West Coast Fitness for their next 8 week fitness challenge. You will get kitted out with all sorts of information, freebies and guaranteed results.

I am continually reminded how much of a social creature I am. Here is a fun and candid moment at the ROAM MOBILITY party last week

Some clients don’t understand the value of their exclusive marketing materials and others don’t care. Here is a great example of an image I shot for Devil May Wear which was unwisely posted to the web at full resolution. As a result, it has been appropriated by this Taiwanese body lotion company. I don’t have the energy to pursue this theft. If anything I need to take it in stride and be flattered that my work now joins the ranks of so many other great photographers, whose work is plastered across chinese knock-offs.

Even if I did figure out the rest of the 800 number and got someone who would speak to me, I image their reaction would be something like, “Oh yeah, we got a check for you right here. Why don’t you come get it,” followed by some muffled snickering.
