James Alfred Photography
Vancouver
"I love bringing attention to good design. I’ve been photographing architecture and interiors professionally since 2006, working with designers and builders on a vast number of residential, corporate and other development projects.
In my commercial work, my style is focused on a natural, ambient light presentation, which I love for its purity - but I also appreciate being able to push things in creative directions when I can.
A great highlight this year was photographing inside a brewery and documenting both the process and the scale of their operation, as I develop the industrial side of my portfolio. In my personal work one of the things I am drawn to is photographing abandoned places, which combines my architectural photography with my expressionist sensibilities."

Alex Waber
Vancouver
Alex Waber lives in a playground, and he loves to use it. In his spare time he can be found backpacking, bike packing, day hiking and snowshoeing (and sometimes just lying on a beach) And thus he loves when he has to take his camera along to shoot a campaign.
Recent projects have taken him up mountains in Pemberton and Whistler to shoot for Arc’teryx, the local coast mountains and seaside cliffs of Vancouver to shoot Tilley’s iconic hats and their new clothing line. And in to the streets of the city to shoot active wear for local brand Daub + Design. Later this year he is off to the grasslands around Kamloops for a desert adventure and the north coast of Vancouver Island for a very rainy bike ride.
Alex is always trying to find new places to shoot so that when an out of town brand calls he can right away suggest a few options that would fit their creative direction. And working with a dedicated team he is able to set up lights and covers to get the look you need, even if it is a summer shoot in the dead of winter. The only thing he cannot control are goosebumps and snow.

Ema Peter
Vancouver
"I often call myself an architectural photojournalist.
My biggest influences were not architectural photographers. They were the photojournalists like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Elliot Erwitt. They tried to find the incredible "decisive moment" that makes you feel the scene exactly how they felt it. By looking at their images you experience a strong emotion and it stops you in your tracks.
Buildings change with the light and become humane when people walk in the frame. Sometimes they even become unrecognisable when reflecting the light. My biggest goal has been for people to look at architecture in a different way. For instance, if it's a building they pass everyday, I want them to look at the photograph and not even recognize it. In return, this makes them want go and experience it more for themselves."

Kevin Uy Photography
Vancouver
Kevin and team recently wrapped up some cool campaign projects, and by cool, it meant being in Alberta, Canada this December for both Rolls Royce and Bentley. Imagine photographing Rolls Royce' latest offering, the Black Badge Ghost, in one of the most iconic nature escapes in Canada – Lake Louise.
As always, mother nature proves to be a big challenge in any photoshoot but luckily the team experienced more than favourable conditions to shoot.
On the other hand, the Bentley Flying Spur and Continental GT were photographed in highly urbanized downtown sections of Edmonton, where the challenge was just the iced roads. Nevertheless, the team chipped away at the challenge and produced great results.
Currently, Kevin is working on improving photography and videography direction along with preparation for other projects in 2022. See more of his work via his website to stay connected!

Alex Waber
Vancouver
Two hours of hiking up a steep slope beside a waterfall and finally Alex was able to say “Okay, let's set up one light there, the other close to the model from over here to boost the sun.” The digitech quickly sets up just behind and they were ready to shoot.
Alex Waber is a studio photographer whose background in cinematography brings an understanding of the narrative qualities of light to every project. His studio techniques extend well beyond the four white walls and into the mountains and valleys and city streets where he often shoots.
He loves working with the real world light to heighten the experience or working against it to remind the viewer that fashion is a beautiful performance.

Adam Blasberg
Vancouver
Adam Blasberg fell in love with studio portraits many years ago. After spending years mastering studio portraits and studio lighting, he takes his studio anywhere. Nothing stops him from creating stunning studio-like portraits on location.
He uses more than just cameras and lighting to create powerful portraits: he uses his personality as a tool to connect to people. A tool so effective that it cuts to the root of the subject and shows their own personality.

Alex Waber
Vancouver
“A passion of mine is bike touring. Our kits are ultra light, the smallest tents, the thinest mats. This fortunately leaves space for my camera to come along.
I love documenting the adventures in the world around me, especially when the weather goes a bit off. This drive for getting the shot on location has lead teams with full lighting rigs up the sides of snowy mountains in Whistler and deep in to forests after the rain. But I’m still a city kid with a love of style. I’ve worked with numerous hair salons, yoga studios and clothing designers to show off what they can do for you in every day life.
I have a background in cinema which gave me a keen eye for story telling, and a love of fashion photography which has kept my aesthetics sharp and contemporary. My ideal photo is true to life, but elevated through photography to make it just a little bit more than real.”

Alex Waber
Vancouver
A day off for Alex is either spent in the mountains or in his studio. And when it's studio, it is spent sculpting with light.
Still life photography has been a passion as long as Alex has been shooting, often working with flowers, old toys or objects he finds wandering through town. He relishes is the textures light can bring out, the shapes and shadows cast, and the colours highlighted.
Over the years he has shot for a number of designers and boutiques in Vancouver and his still life photography has been exhibited up and down the west coast.
