"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. One area of focus has been on tiny home trailers, which requires a unique set of tactics and considerations.

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. 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. During the pandemic down-time, I completed a series of photos of an abandoned Hawaiian resort being reclaimed by the jungle, with the whole series posted on my fine art website."

Kevin’s experience spans studio work and on-location shoots. With technical expertise, he aims to go beyond capturing a moment, to telling a story though his photography.

"We just finished a recent project for RM Sothebys featuring a very yellow Ford GT. It was a fun little project especially playing around with a gorgeous spring sunset that just complements the colour of the Ford GT itself.

This project went on despite the whole coronavirus situation and we made sure to follow the protocols for sanitation, distancing and proper guidelines as laid out by Canada’s health ministry. We’re open for further projects here in Canada moving beyond the situation as we navigate this strange new world. It’s time to think of the next steps in the advertising and marketing fields."

Clinton Hussey is an award-winning commercial photographer specialising in conceptual, food, still life and, recently, motion. Since 1995, he has been creating distinctive editorial and advertising imagery for brand and magazine clients in his hometown of Vancouver and abroad.

Originally a design student at Vancouver’s Emily Carr College of Art & Design, Clinton stumbled into photography at first accidentally and then with conviction as he fell for its demanding mix of creativity and technical grasp—an intense relationship he recognised from watching his father, a musician, repair his instruments with surgical skill. Though not a musician himself, Clinton has earned both Grammy and Juno nominations for his album cover designs; his photography has won multiple National Magazine Awards, as well honours from Lotus, Applied Arts, D&AD, City & Regional Magazine Association, the Printing Industry of America, Communication Arts, PDN/Nikon, and many others.

Today, Clinton is expanding into video, creating ad campaigns for clients such as Method, Panago, and the Children of the Street Society. When he’s not making pictures, he’s building things, and spending time on the ocean and in the mountains with his wife, Amanda—also a photographer—and their two children.
