James Alfred Photography
Interiors & exteriors photographers
"Beginning as a multi-disciplinary artist, I have now been working as a commercial architectural photographer across BC since 2006. I love working with passionate designers and want to help them present their best work with my best visual craftsmanship, using all the tools at my disposal to craft the most complimentary and truthfully representative imagery.
In my commercial work, my style is focused on achieving a natural, ambient light look, which I love for its purity, but I also appreciate being able to push things in creative directions when I can. In my personal work, I am drawn to photograph beautiful designs and compositions wherever they are found, especially in nature. I care deeply for the environment and would love to highlight sustainable design - with a special interest in reclaimed and repurposed materials.
I have photographed for the Mint Tiny House Company, MAXXiT Systems, BGIS Canada, Turco Homes, Kalu Interiors, KG Interior Design, Turner Construction, Thibodeau Architecture & Design, Grafton Apparel, Century Group Inc., Seraphim Stoneworks, Positive Space Staging & Design, Kenzi Design House, and Bayside Cabinets."

Alex Waber
Advertising photographers
Alex Waber a fashion, advertising and portrait photographer based out of Vancouver, Canada. Trained in cinematography Alex brings the language of story telling to his photography through lighting design, composition and art direction. With a strong DIY attitude, Alex has built himself two custom studios and that ground up attitude makes its way in to all his projects, be it custom set pieces or hand painted backdrops; a day off is usually spent making a mess in his studio.
A love of music has greatly informed his approach to the creative process, an ideal shoot is full of collaborative energy, ideas bouncing around as we follow the art direction with some good improvisation thrown in to the mix. This has also resulted in many live music events happening out of his space and a number of musician’s portraits which have shown up in articles around the world.
Alex has shot for clients including Arcteryx, Aritzia and Shaw Communications and has had work published internationally in in places like The Guardian, Rolling Stones and The Globe and Mail.

Alex Waber
Vancouver
Alex Waber is an award-winning photographer with 12 years experience in the fashion industry. He has shot for clients including campaigns for Arcteryx and Aritzia, and was brought in to help rebrand the photography for Shaw Communications in a more fashionable way. With a background in cinematography for advertising and music videos, Alex has a keen eye for dynamic lighting and visual story telling. He loves working hands on with teams of people to create visions, from location scouting and set design to bouncing around different styles of editing to achieve very specific visions after the shoot.
Alex works primarily out of his own studio in Vancouver’s chinatown where he has a workshop to build props and set pieces and work on his own abstract and experimental photography and oil painting, both of which influence his approach to the commercial arts.
Lately Alex has been experimenting with incorporating artificial intelligence in to his work flow, creating photoshoots which are then processed through a trained neural network allowing for unexpected colours and textures or whole new images to emerge.

Alex Waber
Vancouver
Curiosity leads Alex Waber’s portrait practice. He loves getting to know people through his work and bringing that out in the photograph. Though aesthetics are always important, the story of who a person is should shine through. Alex is always keen to meet people in their own environments, using their space to add depth to the images. Sometimes a well chosen object or space can speak volumes to who a person is. If the shoot is in studio it becomes a game of light and colour to enhance who the person is and can become.
Alex’s portrait work has appeared internationally in publications like The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Montecristo Magazine and The Globe and Mail.

Kevin Uy Photography
Vancouver
The recent months have proved to be quite exciting as new projects now have to navigate around certain travel restrictions. Recent projects include photographing the new Porsche Taycan Turbo and 911 Carrera 4S. The challenge was the tight timeline of shooting two vehicles in a period of 48 hours with only one support crew and as well as being limited to a small area to shoot due to travel restrictions. Another exciting project was the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster Xago edition.
Kevin’s body of work has been used in commercial and editorial campaigns, in both print and digital platforms. Follow more of Kevin’s work on his website or Instagram.

James Alfred Photography
Vancouver
"This has been a surprisingly busy year. 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. But what has kept me busy lately is photographing Tiny Home trailers, which requires a unique set of tactics and considerations.
I love bringing attention to good design, and these trailers have been amazing examples of fitting so many beautiful elements cleverly into a small space. 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.
I've also had opportunities lately to shoot large commercial spaces. I hope to eventually spend more time documenting projects that not only prioritise sustainable building design but also incorporate alternative and repurposed materials, which I always love to see."
