Farah Nazarali is the producer of Drishti Point, a radio program and podcast about yoga, spirituality and wellness. This still comes from our shoot of the soon-to-be-released video promo for Drishti Point’s exciting, soon-to-be-launched website. I look forward to posting the video to promote the website launch!
Today’s instalment of Creative Mornings was another block buster, filling again to capacity with Jessica Hische at the podium. Her infectious enthusiasm and smile made her potty mouth endearing as she talked about the value of font foundries, geeking out on your own passions and the intersection of arts and technology. She was joined on...
You would be impressed by the number of plyometric push-ups Tim did for this shot and he still makes it look effortless. Tim is an awesome bootcamp trainer – always positive, always pushing and leading by example. I look forward to working with him in the gym and on the next set of trainer portraits...
These publicity images were shot for the Black Hills Estate Winery Vinos Film Festival Preview Party and are featured in today’s issue of 24hrs. From the left are: President of Black Hills Winery Glen Fawcett, Marketing Director of Black Hills Wine Festival Crystal Carson, Director of Mile’s End Motors David C. Bentil and artist Jason Gogo.

This is Paul Anthony, actor and funny man from the East Van standard Talent Time. We were working on actor headshots but then he busted out this Kuala sweater and glasses! Whether this ends up being used as a promo shot or a fun out-take, it’s one of my favourites from a memorable session. Looking at...
Melissa and I met at a photo shoot for MishaEssentials. This outtake is from a break we had in shooting and I corralled some of the team into some fun grab shots. I remember she was little camera shy but doesn’t she look just great? Melissa creates online experiences with Fresh Spark Strategies. Her studio...
Here’s a sneak peek at a project I am working on with Hilary Henegar on banking values and credit unions. As much as that sounds like a snore, it is anything but. Through this project I have met some really motivated and innovative people working on amazing projects guided by their ideals and principles. This...
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...
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...
Just a few more days til Christmas. This holiday season consider directly supporting someone in need in your own city. Read more about the Hope In Shadows calendar vendor program.
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...
Though I didn’t participate in Movember this year, here is my salute to all the lads who, for the last thirty days, have been walking, talking billboards for raising funds and awareness while prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
It’s time to update those holiday portraits! What better way to do it than with some Santa hats, ‘adult’ egg nog and some really great peeps? For a fun afternoon I’ll have for you: A photo booth! A tickle trunk of Xmas related stuff! Boozy egg nog! and the groovy mixings of DJ Steve-O! Come...
Zoom Media recently had their 20th anniversary party! It was a fun and flamboyant affair with circus performers, an open bar and and tons of great give aways. This is the lovely Renette Cruz addressing the party before drawing prizes.
None of my professors in University ever seemed very jet-set. But Kris Sigurdson is being featured in Science & Avenir magazine and I was fortunate to catch him for this shoot just before he caught a flight for a meeting with NASA. He literally squeezed this shoot in while picking up his dry-cleaning for the trip.
Hanna is one of those unique people who found themselves creating their own jobs as they go. As a result of the Museum Of Vancouver‘s visioning project to move away from old stuff behind glass to a contemporary space, Hanna has been working for the last year to engage Vancouverites directly with interactive, cross-disciplinary exhibits...
I’m lucky to be on the committee for Creative Mornings Vancouver, which is a breakfast lecture series that encourages dialogue and debate in the creative community. The format is simple – a 20 minute talk followed by a Q & A period – but different in its mandate to get away from indulgent portfolio presentations...
