Vancouver
One of Alex Waber’s favourite parts of being a photographer is meeting new people to collaborate on new ideas. Between campaigns and cookbooks, he tries to fit in small creatives that can be a few hours to a few days of exploring new concepts, techniques and styles. To that end Waber has built relationships with several talent agencies in town to work with their rosters of models and makeup artists, as well as working with the styling department at John Casablancas Institute in Vancouver to shoot the new stylists final projects.
Waber has been shooting professionally out of Vancouver for the past 15 years. His work has been published in Vogue, Wired, Rolling Stone and many other places and he’s shot for clients including Arcteryx, Tilly Endurables, Section 35, and many more.

Still life is a favourite subject because it's always a fun opportunity to really dig in to colour play, super detailed lighting and different kinds of textures.

Clinton Hussey
Advertising photographers
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 is not making pictures, he is building things, and spending time on the ocean and in the mountains with his wife, Amanda—also a photographer—and their two children.

Alex Waber is passionate about the outdoors, spending most of his time off exploring the mountains and oceans around Vancouver. Supporting responsible initiatives and outdoor adventures is one of the many highlights of Waber’s career as a fashion and lifestyle photographer.
Over the past three years, Waber has been closely involved in documenting Arc’teryx’s used gear programs, shooting mixture of documentary and staged lifestyle photography in studios, factories, stores and mountainsides. This is Arc’teryx’s process of receiving used and damaged products from customers, assessing, repairing and repurposing, and finally bringing them back out in to the world.
From the first shoot, Waber worked closely with the Arcteryx in house team to shape an aesthetic approach to the series through sticking to a specific set of lenses and lighting styles while keeping in mind a variety of image placements, like Instagram ads, magazine articles, press releases and “how-to" sections on websites.

“Late last year I had the honor of shooting Section 35's largest campaign to date.
The challenge was having only one day with our talent, Amber Midthunder, and shooting two concepts in very different locations. The first part was shot in studio, where our stylist, Monika Wiatrowska, built a living room set incorporating photographs and objects from the designer's family history.
The second concept was shot outdoors, in an industrial area, combining ideas of land, history and reclamation. In both instances for speed and efficiency we keep the lighting set up small, usually just one light augmenting the natural light of the environment, though as evening fell we were able to get a lot more dramatic. The shoot was used by Footlocker to launch the products in their stores and was published by Complex Magazine and Vogue for articles in each."

"One of the highlights of a creative photoshoot is the team behind it and building long term relationships. For the past nine years, Alex has frequently collaborated with stylist and art director Monika Wiatrowska on projects ranging from magazine covers to product shoots to personal work celebrating favourite objects. Presented here are several pieces for the magazine Maisoneuve, stills for a backpack for parents by No Reception Club, and a set about a favourite perfume called 'After The Flood' by Apotheker Tepe, and a classic still life of flowers and sneaky little googly eyes.
Still life is a favourite subject because it's always a fun opportunity to really dig in to colour play, super detailed lighting and different kinds of textures. It can be a delightfully meditative process, in some instances spending a full day to perfect a single image, or finding the flow to create a series or a gif.”
